Hi, I read this page hoping it could solve my problem with mail on a jailed environment: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mail-trouble.html But, this merely quotes the sendmail FAQ and states that sendmail.cw changed to local-host-names. My problem is (was) I want to be able to send mail from base system to a mail domain hosted on a jailed system. My base system naturally have all IPs (including the mail jail one), so I would get something like: Mar 18 14:56:35 home sm-mta[55112]: n2IDuZFJ055110: SYSERR(root): MX list for confighell.com. points back to home.confighell.com Mar 18 14:56:35 home sm-mta[55112]: n2IDuZFJ055110: n2IDuZFJ055112: DSN: MX list for confighell.com. points back to home.confighell.com But I fixed it by putting: confighell.com smtp:[10.1.2.3] Inside /etc/mail/mailertable and remake db (and restart sendmail). For people using jailed environment, I think this info is very valuable. I have spent almost 1h findind out the right solution. If this _is_ the right solution. At least it makes my stuff work. I just need to get system mails from cron/root, so adding 1 domain was enough. I could of course copy "local-host-names" from the mail jail system to have all domains available, but no need so far. I hope this can help you making the docs even better. I have made an entry on my own page if you need more details: http://confighell.com/tiki-index.php?page=Sendmail#MX_list_for_confighell_com_points_back_to_home_confighell_com Thanks - Nicolai
