Sendmail on DU 3.2a. I'm getting a "hostname is inconsistent with your
address to name mapping." Here are some of my tests:

Still confused! It seems the hostname error only appears when I send mail to
a VALID user at heritage.org. Here is some information from my
/etc/namedb/hosts.db (on seldy):
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
townhall.com. IN A 207.238.36.3
ns1 IN A 207.238.36.3
seldy IN A 207.238.36.3
www IN A 207.238.36.3
janus IN A 207.238.36.2
ns2 IN A 207.238.36.2
townhall.com. IN MX 100 ns1
www.heritage.org. IN A 207.238.36.89
Here is some information from my /etc/namedb/heritage.db (on seldy):
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
www IN A 207.238.36.89
heritage.org. IN A 207.238.36.89
heritage.org. IN NS ns1.townhall.com.
heritage.org. IN MX 10 janus.townhall.com.
heritage.org. IN MX 100 seldy.townhall.com.
Here are two lines from my /etc/namedb/named.boot (on seldy):
primary townhall.com hosts.db
primary heritage.org heritage.db
Here are some lines from my /etc/hosts (on seldy):
127.0.0.1 localhost
207.238.36.3 seldy.townhall.com seldy,ns1,www,ftp
207.238.36.2 janus.townhall.com janus ns2
207.238.36.89 www.heritage.org
Both /etc/namedb/src and /var/yp/src link to /etc/hosts. I added
www.townhall.com to the "Cw" line in /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf. I've
restarted both sendmail and named. Here it is:
DUseldy
#
# aliases for my machine
#
Cwwww.townhall.com seldy.UUCP
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
