In a couple FAQs (FAQ95.html & the mail FAQ), the following paragraph is quoted from the sendmail FAQ: >You have asked mail to the domain (e.g., domain.net) to be >forwarded to a specific host (in this case, relay.domain.net) >by using an MX record, but the relay machine does not recognize >itself as domain.net. Add domain.net to /etc/sendmail.cw >(if you are using FEATURE(use_cw_file)) or add "Cw domain.net" >to /etc/sendmail.cf. This /etc/sendmail.cw file is now expected to be at /etc/mail/sendmail.cw. I was completely baffled for several hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I suggest adding text like this: ------------------------ Newer versions of FreeBSD expect this file to be at /etc/mail/sendmail.cw. You can examine /etc/sendmail.cf to see if this applies to you. ------------------------ Perhaps putting a template "blank" file at /etc/mail/sendmail.cw would also be useful. Thanks for the great effort! -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------- Richard Kiss 140 Locksunart Way #8 Sunnyvale, CA, 94087 richard@homemail.com http://www.ogopogo.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
