In your sendmail.cf DMtecpro.com I don't think that will solve your problem though. Whether you're mycomputername.sptnbrg1.sc.home.com or tecpro.com you're a foreign host either way. My guess is that these sites are rejecting you because your IP address is in @home customer space and they don't want to accept mail from there. What I do on the rare occasions I need to send mail from home is use my mailserver at work as a relay. I added my home IP address to the localIP table for sendmail.
