Hello, One of my machines recently got updaged to FreeBSD 8.4-stable (using first freebsd-update, then svn + make world. The normal update procedure was run, including mergemaster. It currently runs: root at kg-vm2# uname -a FreeBSD kg-vm2.kg4.no 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #0 r270837: Sat Aug 30 13:25:23 CEST 2014 root at kg-vm2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 After the upgrade, sendmail doesn't want to send mail, resulting in this: root at kg-vm2# mailq /var/spool/mqueue (4 requests) -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient----------- s8Q56o6W075503 1978 Fri Sep 26 07:06 MAILER-DAEMON (Deferred: Connection refused by kg-vm2.kg4.no.) <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> s8Q56o6X075503 3645 Fri Sep 26 07:06 MAILER-DAEMON (Deferred: Connection refused by kg-vm2.kg4.no.) <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> s8Q113MU075044 290 Fri Sep 26 03:01 <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> (Deferred: Connection refused by kg-vm2.kg4.no.) <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> s8Q1146V075078 1960 Fri Sep 26 03:01 <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> (Deferred: Connection refused by kg-vm2.kg4.no.) <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no> Total requests: 4 the funny thing is this: root at kg-vm2# sendmail -q -v Running /var/spool/mqueue/s8Q56o6W075503 (sequence 1 of 4) <root at kg-vm2.kg4.no>...
