Uh -- sendmail -bv doesn't do what you think it does. It only shows you =
what your
local sendmail would do with the message as it tries to deliver it. If i=
t's not
for a local user, then all it says is 'send it to the SMTP server respons=
ible'
and nothing at all about what the other machine would do with it.=20
The only way to find that out is by connecting to the remote sendmail, ei=
ther
by telnet or by actually sending an e-mail.
Cheers,
Matthew
