I don't THINK that'll work (not at home as I write this): the logs show sendmail: gethostbyaddr(192.168.xxx.yyy) failed So as far as I can tell, the look-up is the reverse of a domain name look-up, it's trying to find what the domain name for the IP address is. At least that's what it looks like to me. I'm not at all an expert on either sendmail or DNS! R
