Well, I am still grappling with the issues of SMTP and POP3 between Linux and Outlook Express (Windows). I shall come for help, when I have exhuasted all possibilites. But now I am working on homeground, the Linux. I have two machines on Linux (Redhat 9.0). I have configured sendmail on linux11.awt.com.pk. Then I do the $ telnet linux11.awt.com.pk smtp from the machine linux10.awt.com.pk. I get proper response and I use the commands like "helo" and "quit" etc. I also checked with $ netstat -a and found the entry *.smtp So, it appears, that smtpd is listening alright. Then I use the mail (MUA) to send the mail. On Linux10.awt.com.pk. I do it as follows: $ mail user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I send the mail from the command line, closing the mail with a period. I expect the mail should go. But it did not. It kept sitting on the sending machine. The question is: Do I need to put on routing on the machines? If not then what can be the possible problem for not sending the mail? Thanks. bye shiraz __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
