According to The Complete FreeBSD (p. 465-466), it should work when I have DM entries but no sendmail.cw file. I'm just curious as to what is going on and why DM doesn't seem to work. You are still not putting in carriage returns. It makes your mail very hard to read... > Thanks for the reply. It does work when I have the entries in > sendmail.cw and no DM entries.

Ah, much better. If you don't put in carriage returns, my next mail on sendmail will talk about w=$ macros, ruleset 3, and a mailertable hashed database. ;) Anyway, I don't have my Complete FreeBSD handy, but you seem a bit confused about what 'aliasing' means. The 'DM' entry in sendmail.cf will make mail look like it is _from_ 'whereever.org' but has nothing to do with what mail is or is not identified as local (or what is allowed to relay for that matter). It only modifies that 'From:' line on the outgoing mail. It sure seems to me that if you have a sendmail.cw containing, zookware.com www.zookware.com mail.zookware.com And the line, DMzookware.com In sendmail.cf, that you will have sendmail working like you want. So what is your question? Is something still not working? > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe "Marcus" Clarke [SMTP:marcus@miami.edu] > Sent: Sunday, October 24, 1999 1:03 PM > To: Daniel F.
