Hi,
This is what I get from parsing the E-mail adress.

Cracked address = $g
Parsing envelope recipient address
rewrite: ruleset 3 input: info @ vitesse . groep . nl

mailer local, user info
obviously, user info is unknown.
This is the ruleset 96 in sendmail.cf. As far as I know (I did not
install this system) there have been no lines changed in this part.

I have been having problems with getting the subdomains itself to
work. There still is a problem with the secondairy nameserver, that
is being maintained by another company. Could that be the cause of
the mail problem too?
This is my db.file:
