Thus the reason I asked about SLRN. > given that you don't know anything about sendmail, you will have a default config, so... the smart host is just adding something behind the DS field So you should have a line DS:gateway.my.domain (and perhaps put it in /etc/hosts) should you need the rest, if you work from the mc file with the cf-kit, which is included with sendmail nowadays, it's feature(nocanonify) That should do the job. Alternatives are to use qmail, vmailer or whatever Mark -- Nice testing in little China...
