I simply want any submitted email using sendmail to be relayed to another mta for distribution. I want this to happen both from submitted mail from the command line, and from any queues, if the mail is submitted to the running daemon. I use FreeBSD 7.0, and all of the configuration is in /etc/mail/. From what I understand, if I simply set the DS variable to a hostname, it is supposed to use that as the smart relay host, but it is not working. For some reason, it is ignoring that hostname, and attempting to contact the MX record host for the domain name of the machine, which is really weird. So, I tried setting the DS and the MTAHost variables to the IP of the machine I want it to go to, and that seems to work, but oddly enough, sendmail replaces the Rcpt To: variable with my current logged in username@machine host instead of the address that I gave on the command line to send the mail to... So, for instance, I would do a command like this : /usr/sbin/sendmail -v tt@domain.com Subject:test from command line test . tt...

Is this a bounce or something??? Is it bouncing the message based on some sort of new relaying rules or something? Cause I haven't seen this on older FreeBSD hosts... the version of sendmail is 8.14.2 Thanks, Tim.
