Ok, perhaps I should explain the server set up a bit more... This will end up being off topic for PHP I think but perhaps there is someone who may be able to help me (I will also post this information on the Exim mailing list I just discovered). sympatico.ca is a large internet provider which I have an ADSL connection through. Any sympatico.ca servers don't belong to me but to the provider. Off this ADSL connection is a BSD box which does my firewalling, etc. Behind that box is the web server which is called www.cell.dhs.org (cell.dhs.org being my domain). On this server is a Debian Linux box which runs Apache with PHP, the Exim mail server, etc. So, any idea what I could be missing from my configuration that would let me ping addresses nslookup them but not send mail to them? Any other questions/information needed? thx for the help! > Liam Gibbs wrote: > > > > >Ok, fair enough. > > > >Here are the full errors I get when I try to mail "shinden@sympatico.ca" > >(BTW, I'm doing it as root but I get the same errors no matter who > >I'm logged in as or if I do it through PHP):
