Hello: I believe there is a setting in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: #O DontProbeInterfaces -or- DontProbeInterfaces=True - not sure which one goes with which version, but uncommenting/setting this line will likely fix your problem. I remember struggling with this a while back. -David -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bryan Bunch Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 3:30 PM To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Sendmail Question.. Hello ALl, I have a quick question about sendmail. I have a machine that is running v 8.11.2 with the following features: FEATURE(access_db)dnl FEATURE(mailertable)dnl FEATURE(virtusertable)dnl FEATURE(domaintable)dnl This server is primarily a web server (web_server), but does outgoing email through the usage of cgi scripts, etc. I have one particular web site say xyz.com that is on this machine, but all of the email for the domain is handled by another machine (mail_server). There is an A record set up in DNS that points xyz.com to the (web_server) machine. This is so that if someone just types in xyz.com in their web browser, they will get the web site. I have a MX record that points to the (mail_server) machine. If a CGI script or if I try to send mail from the (web_server) machine, for some reason it thinks that it is local for the xyz.com domain, even though I do NOT have it listed in my local-host-names file. If am at any other machine mail works fine and gets routed to the proper machine. I'm assuming that this has something do to with the A record of xyz.com that points to (web_server). I have tried an entry in my mailertable: .xyz.com smtp:mail_server This does not work. The only way that I have worked around the problem is by putting an entry in my virtusertable that maps specific users to the correct user on the (mail_server) machine. There must be a simpler way. TIA..
