In the config file there is a commented line that can be enabled if Sendmail cannot determine its hostname. It must be a FQDN, and best if DNS is up to spec or you may have some problems (see next) B-> You have DNS problems, check MX records, esp. for domain 2. Tell DNS that domain 1 handles mail for domain 2. Also, read docs on virtusertable, you should be able to do one generic entry for domain 2 that would send all mail to domain 1 by default. Of course, then you may end up needing to do some aliasing if you want to have two different 'bobs' for example. C -> you don't have the server's hostname entered in /etc/local-host-names, or you don't even have this file. Make it.....? D-> Other, unknown. I've done a few Sendmail installs and generally have had luck, but only after reading quite a bit of the docs and doing some serious config time on a couple of them. The last few have been better......
