I found the following: > "Comment out this rule if you want all mail to go to the > Smart-host relay defined by the "DS" macro." > "I won't detail the line here but I did comment it out. :>)" You really should not be editing the .cf file directly. If your goal is to specify a SmartHost, add the following to your sendmail.mc file define(`SMART_HOST',`mail.mydomain.com') Note the back-quote/quote around mail.mydomain.com.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] To properly set Dj in sendmail.mc... define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `mail.mydomain.com')dnl BTW: Setting this should have nothing to do with re-writing the e-mail envelope.

Sounds like you have specified mydomain.com in the "local-host-names file. By doing so, sendmail will select the "local" mailer (procmail), not the relay mailer. > > What have I missed.
