Thanks for the quick help! Sendmail 8.10.0 is up and running!
If they're getting "connection refused" messages then your sendmail
isn't running.
In order to get sendmail to run... I made the following changes in
/etc/rc.config
# SENDMAIL_ARGS=" -o8 "
SENDMAIL_ARGS=""
on the /etc/mail/relay-domains ....
It's just a list of domains or IP addresses (which may be partially
specified, i.e. 128.223 means 128.223.*.*), one per line.
Thanks!
