If you have problems with http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.22 then: 1) Specify Smart host in your *.mc file using its ip address: define(`SMART_HOST',`[aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd]')dnl 2) In you *.mc file use FEATURE(`nocanonify') If it runs OK then try using name from /etc/hosts file instead of ip address, Can you post result of running the command given belo on your current configuration: sendmail -v -d8.20 -oi _email_address_ <<END subject: test test END -- Andrzej (Andrew) A.
