Thanks for the reply.  It does work when I have the entries in sendmail.cw and no DM entries.  According to The Complete FreeBSD (p. 465-466), it should work when I have DM entries but no sendmail.cw file.  I'm just curious as to what is going on and why DM doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Dan

/etc/mail/sendmail.cw should contain a list of hosts for which you wish to
receive mail.  Therefore, you should have:

zookware.com
www.zookware.com
mail.zookware.com

in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw if you wish to receive mail for those three
hosts.  In addition to putting DMzookware.com, try updating ruleset 94.
Make it read:

###################################################################
###  Ruleset 94 -- convert envelope names to masqueraded form   ###
###################################################################

S94
R$+                             $@ $>93 $1
#R$* < @ *LOCAL* > $*   $: $1 < @ $j . > $2


Note: the spaces between R$+ and $@ are TABS.  If you include spaces,
sendmail will bomb.
