I have a 3.4 STABLE laptop. I believe the version of sendmail that is on it is the one that came with 3.4 This machine autocinfigures to vaariosu networks. The primary two are at home, and at work. In both cases the networks are protecetd from the internet by firewalls. At work I have some Sum machines that I wish to be able to mail directly to my laptop. At home it should never recieve mail. I hacke the sendmail.cf files on the Sun's and coerced them inot sending mail to my machine. However I did not get that end of it quite correct, so the mail comes as user_name#hostname (without the domain portion). My machine rejects this out of hand. here is what I am geting in the logfile: Apr 20 16:20:29 brown sendmail[11779]: QAA11779: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<root@ AP0550>, relay=waterap [170.85.113.45], reject=501 <root@AP0550>...
