Dan,
Thanks for the help... your solution seems to work great, but with a
problem that worries me. The only way I can make sendmail actually try to
deliver anything is to add the TryNullMXList option, which according to
the Sendmail manual is 'not safe'. The Sendmail book also *talks* about
the error I consistantly get ('MX list for xxx points back to yyy')
without really saying how to *fix*it. Should I be concerned that I seem to
have to add the TryNullMXList option?
