Yeah i restarted the service after making the changes, i havent used a 
FQDN cos we dont have any DNS service inside the network, nor do i want 
to use them, just send all outbound mail from sendmail to the ip or wins 
name of the mail server, both on same subnet, i would have thought this 
would be pretty easy...sendmail is too hard for me :(

Should the IP in the mailtertable be in square brackets like in your 
expanmple? I didnt have that.
