John, I have a couple ideas as this is what has solved this issue when I had it. You do have these domains in the sendmail.cw (or equivalent) file, correct? Also, are the domains listed as "OK" in /etc/mail/access? Also see FAQ page, http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section4.html#4.5 --Chris John Straiton said: > I know this isn't really the place for this, however comp.mail.sendmail > hasn't been of any help so I'm hoping one of you geniuses has an idea > what to do here before I go nuts. > > I am getting the > 554 5.0.0 MX list for domain.com points back to myhost.name.com 554 > 5.3.5 <user@domain.com>...
