Hi all,
I'm still working on my sendmail 8.9.0 tweaking and can't get it to do exactly
what I need to do.
I removed the CNAME records from my DNS to make sure it worked, after I was told
that the MX records shouldn't point to a CNAME, but it didn't change anything.
What's going on is that mail get's returned when I send a test msg, it gives me
an error like this:
-------------------
The original message was received at Sun, 7 Jun 1998 22:09:08 -0400 (EDT)

------------------
I made a test account called "testdude" and farrwest.org is a registered domain
hosted on my system.
I have:
testdude_at_farrwest.org testdude
in my virtusertable, so that address points to the local user testdude.
I also have:
testdude testdude_at_farrwest.org
in the genericstable, with the ulysium.net domain in the .cG file (ulysium.net
is my domain, on the machine).
I also have the MX records for each domain in the DNS pointing to ulysium.net
without a CNAME.
And the ulysium.net and farrwest.org are in the access table, as well as in the
.cw and relay-domains table.
1) Why is the www put in front of farrwest.org?
2) why is the CNAME (also the machine's real name) showing up?
(ulysium.ulysium.net)
Since there is no mailer for farrwest.org, my DNS lists ulysium.net as the best
MX for it, but why is the mail refused with this error saying that
www.farrwest.org points back to ulysium.ulysium.net. That's not how I have it
in the DNS...?
