Hi, I doubt if this will help or you may know it already. The last time in reading Sendmail, basically it said that your ISP has to have a pointer to your own host (and domain) aswell, in /etc/mail/local-host-names you have to put in the ISP's mail host..(mail.earthlink.net ?). As per the above, someone with a much stronger background with Sendmail can mostlikely help. BTW, have you looked at http://www.sendmail.org/docs ?
