That's 'cos terrek.datawok.com hasn't got a DNS entry; but you don't
need this to get your mail system working...

You need to get a working config (don't need to change hosts files et
al). Your m4 config file (and you should use them instead of tweaking
sendmail.cf directly) should look something like:

	VERSIONID(`@(#)datawok.mc')
	OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
	DOMAIN(generic)dnl

	FEATURE(`use_cw_file')
	FEATURE(`access_db')
	FEATURE(`mailertable')

	FEATURE(local_lmtp)dnl
	define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS`'P)dnl

	MASQUERADE_AS(datawok.com)
	FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')

	MAILER(local)dnl
	MAILER(smtp)dnl

	Djdatawok.com

Plonk it down in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf, and build it with:

	m4 ../m4/cf.m4 datawok.mc > datawok.cf
	cp datawok.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

and restart sendmail.
