The problem appears to be the sender's email is: user@hostname.ISP.co.uk, when it should be user@ISP.co.uk. I realise that this problem is a result of my using a dialup PPP link. Now all I have to do is recreate my /etc/sendmail.cf as per the FAQ instructions (sections 8.18 and 8.19). According to these instructions once I create my file foo.mc in the duirectory: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf, I am then supposed to do a "make foo.mc". So m4 converts foo.mc to a foo.cf (so as to later replace /etc/sendmail.cf). Now here lies the problem. When I do make foo.mc, I get the error: Makefile:32 ***missing separator.Stop Looking at Makefile:32 it has the line: ".if defined(SENDMAIL_CF)" Any ideas?
