The sendmail.cf file on esimene.cynet.net.au must be modified to know that mail for cynet.net.au is considered local, otherwise you will get either an infinite mail loop or a "local configuration error" failure. You can either add another name to the "Cw" line in sendmail.cf or you can use the "Fw" feature to give it the name of a file which contains a list of names that are to be considered local. -- David H.
