Greetings fellow managers.
Hopefully someone out here is a sendmail wizard, or can point me to one. Our company's domain name is "labs.wyeth.com". We have a central mail server that receives all incoming mail and forwards it (for the most part) to our GroupWise (I know I know, but I'm stuck with it) SMTP mail gateway. What I'm trying to do is get my Unix box to send all mail not for the local machine "ff01u3" on to the mail server to either get bounced to the outside world, or forwarded on to the GroupWise mailer. Here is what happens when I try:
ff01u3# mailx -v -s "Test from ff01u3" rickg_at_serve.com greener_at_labs.wyeth.com
yet another test. Adjusted ff01u3.m4 to have labs.wyeth.com be a local domain
it had just "labs" before

You can see that it changes my command-line specified "greener_at_labs.wyeth.com" to "greener_at_labs". The mail gateway then chokes on that and fails to send the message.
Here's the version info on sendmail:
ff01u3# telnet 0 25

Any direction on this would be greatly helped.
