When sending mail from one machine to users at certain (not all) of my virtual domains, the mail gets striped of it's domain name and the server trys to deliver the mail locally... ie: Cast of characters: Server1: bind and smtp server for my domain. Server2: just a FBSD 4.5 host on my network Server3: customer's mail server. Customer has multiple domains being served by server1 Scene 1. Mail gets sent (via cgi or mail or whatever) originating from Server2. It is addressed to user@customers_first_domain.com (server3). Mail leaves Server2 is relayed to Server1, but the mail is re-addressed as user@localhost... mail bounces. Scene 2. Mail gets sent (via cgi or mail or whatever) originating from Server2. It is addressed to user@customers_second_domain.com (server3). Mail is relayed to Server2 and then is delivered normally to server3. Scene 3. Mail is sent orginating from server1 to user@customers_first_domain.com (server3). Mail is delivered normally to server3. You may think that I have a local domain entry in sendmail for customers_first_domain.com on server2... but no. You may think that there is a slight difference in the SOA records between customers_first_domain.com and customers_second_domain.com. You would be wrong (no MX record for server2 in either domains). You also may think that there is a local domain entry for customers_first_domain.com or customers_second_domain.com in server1's sendmail.cf..... nope. You may think that I have pointed the two machines to different DNS servers... not that either. You may think that I am loosing my sanity. You would be right about that one. Please shine some light.
