Ok, I haven't messed with /etc/sendmail.cf yet. It doesn't even exist on my system.

The lame domain given to me by @home is the Cxxxxxxx-A.frndl1.wa.home.com. Where the x's represent my account. So, I went to dhs.org and registered a domain name .dhs.org where is my account. It used to be when I had 3.4 installed that I could only recieve email at @Cxxxxxxx-A.frndl1.wa.home.com. If I tried to send it to the alias domain name I created, @.dhs.org it would bounce. They both share the same IP but the DNS 1 hop up from me probably couldn't resolve it. So, I tried to set up my own named and screwed everything up.
