Hi,
In /var/log/maillog, I got the following funny log :
Sep 20 10:47:19 lespoir sendmail[11810]: KAA11808: to=wongm@bsd1, ctladdr=wongm
(2000/2000), delay=00:00:00, mailer=smtp, relay=^W.mydomain. [0], stat=D
eferred: Name server: ^W.mydomain.: host name lookup failure
This is follow-up to the other message I post which I first suspected
the problem was due to my DNS change, and now it doesn't seem like because
after I regenerate a new /etc/sendmail.cf from a .mc file using m4, the
problem went away.
So, my BIG question is, how does the value of relay get assigned, and
which rule set(s) does it incur, if it does ?
Any sendmail guru able to help me with this ? Note that the above happens
only when I send mail to a host (other than itself) in the same domain.
Thanks in advance.
