-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use Comcast@Home and have had troubles with outbound MX Record Lookups via Sendmail's resolver. The first time I was able to get this to work was about three weeks back when from the suggestion of my friends I set the smart relay in the sendmail.cf to a box outside the Comcast Net. This worked until just a few days ago where I cannot get outbound again. My question is - has anyone else had this trouble on the Willow Grove router? On any router? Or is it a bug with Sendmail?
