sorry- misspoke. SMTP setting of the internal network machines
is this server. this server in turns has SMTP server as my ISP's machine.
The idea being that all outgoing SMTP traffic should be flowing
from this single server out to my ISP so it would be
very strange if the ISP only blocked stuff from this one machine.

: What? Let me try to restate what I think you mean:

: machine1 has a routable IP and a private IP. machine1 is running
: sendmail and NAT/IP-masqing. machine2 is behind machine1 and has a
: private IP. machine2 can send mail to other users on other machines
: successfully. machine1 cannot.

yep

: If that correctly describes your situation, you need to check the
: outgoing SMTP server settings on machine2's MUAs and compare them with
: the outgoing SMTP server settings on machine1's MUAs. Then look for
: differences. Cross-reference those things with sendmail's logfiles on
: machine1. The solution may be obvious, or not.

tracked it down. There was a typo in the host table related to
some work I did adding WIFI a month or so ago. Fixing that
typo took care of the email problem. Now why it worked
fine up until the last day or so is a mystery that I don't
the time or inclination to solve. But thanks- your pointers
lead to what I needed.

usenet works yet again!
