Guillermo. The thing is, I can send test emails outside my domain no problem. I
can't send emails to my internal smtp server from any CentOS system on my
internal network. I discovered that I didn't have an MX record in tinydns for my
internal network, so I added that. After testing, no changes - any email that's
destined to any address to my domain bounces with the error message listed
below.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

not a sendmail person, would rather do without it, but I don't think I can
simply remove it from CentOS. I could install postfix, or qmail and see how that
works, but it's serious overkill for sending simple emails internally... Had
hopes ssmtp would work, but that doesn't either. Works on Gentoo systems, just
not CentOS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

puller that's for sure, but I'll keep banging on it until it
works.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

using an externa smtp to send you the emails.<BR>And use sendmail as a client
