Here is a dump of my smtpserver log: > sendmail does not insist on the HELO command. Apparently Zmailer does. With sendmail, when it receives the HELO command it compares the host name to its own, and if they are the same, it aborts with a message something like "I refuse to talk to myself" or "Local configuration error". This is presumably why when you configure for sendmail, the HELO command is not used. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
