I wasn't realizing that after typing "sendmail -v user@domain.net" you were supposed to enter the message ala the mail command. I have a file called /etc/mail/local-hosts containing: .mydomain.net mydomain.net 1) Should this file be renamed to /etc/mail/local-host-names? 2) are the contents correct? I don't have my domain name in /etc/mail/relay-domains ... should I? - Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lanny Baron" <lnb@FreeBSDsystems.COM> To: "Sean Knox" <wintermage@home.com>; "Bill Moran" <wmoran@iowna.com> Cc: "Lim Seng Chor" <Lim.Seng.Chor@sit.edu.my>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 12:33 AM Subject: Re: Sendmail: problems with virtual users > I suppose you have checked /etc/mail/local-host-names and put in the IP's for > which you expect the system to get mail for and also in > /etc/mai/relay-domains the same thing. gethostbyaddress is telling you "hey, > i don't know such a place" > > --Lanny > On Wednesday 30 May 2001 01:36, Sean Knox wrote: > > How long should I wait?
