Sender domain must exist 501 shaunbranden@dingoblue.net.au... Data format error So from the advice below, I added define(`SMART_HOST',`')dnl to the sagan.cf file, made it and mv'd it to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (I also added: FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders')dnl from the documentation) I then rebooted (because I could not find the process to kill -HUP) and tried it again. this time I get: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- shaun@lost.net.au ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 shaun@lost.net.au...
