Hi there - just FYI, I'm pretty sure that if you have earthlink.net in your /etc/sendmail.cw file, you won't be able to send any mail to anybody else at earthlink.net; your mail server will think it's intended for your machine and since, for example, eogren probably isn't a user on your machine, the mail will bounce with "eogren: unknown user". You also don't need a Dj$ if you use the DM option, unless you want sendmail to show "earthlink.net ESMTP sendmail". I'm not positive that I'm right (God knows I'm no sendmail expert), but I am pretty sure.
