My DNS is set up so that hostname.domain.com points to a A record. The virtual domain, mylist.anotherdomain.com is also set up with a A record pointing to the machines ip. No cnames. What bothers me is the fact that if I change the "This list" or "Explicit address" to anything other than to domains set up in sendmail.cw then the reply to address is exactly what I specified. The reply to poster also works fine.
