Sendmail - how to configure to act

Hi all,

I am running a RH7.3 install where I just got Horde's IMP up and running. I have a domain name mydomain.net that's MX record points to the machine the.realrecord.edu. If I send mail to alij@the.realrecord.edu it works like a charm. if I send it to alij@mydomain.net, I get a relaying denied error.

I learn as I go and can follow instructions well, but I do not know enough Linux/Sendmail to figure out what should be edited in Sendmail and how to edit it. I already recreated the virtualusertable so that alij@mydomain.net = alij@the.realrecord.edu

Any tips, pointers, or a nice page telling me how to do this (hopefully simple) deal would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
-Ali

Check the Cw flag that specifies names of machines this sendmail host is willing to accept mail for. It should be configured for both. You probably have a line in the sendmail.cf file that looks like

Cwthe.realrecord.edu

see if you are using the file /etc/mail/local-host-names or
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
these would be return delimited lists of acceptable mail recipient hosts names.

:( Heres what I get if I edit the file, HELP.

[root@betterthanreuse mail]# makemap hash /etc/mail/local-host-names < /etc/mail/local-host-names
makemap: /etc/mail/local-host-names: line 2: no RHS for LHS jiwani.net
makemap: /etc/mail/local-host-names: line 3: no RHS for LHS betterthanreuse.mit.edu
