Hi,
Question:
=========
How do you configure sendmail that it sends an e-mail to a host "active.ch" which isn't in any DNS?
Facts:
======
The host is actually recorded in DNS as "mail.active.ch" and as "nl.active.ch":
> mail.active.ch
Server: ns.worldcom.ch
Address: 194.51.96.111
Name: ln.active.ch
Address: 193.135.163.236
Aliases: mail.active.ch
> ln.active.ch
Server: ns.worldcom.ch
Address: 194.51.96.111
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ln.active.ch
Address: 193.135.163.236
>
But when you look for:
> active.ch
Server: ns.worldcom.ch
Address: 194.51.96.111
Name: active.ch
>
Constatation:
=============
Because I saw it working i.e. in Sybase you can send an e-mail e.g. to lolo@active.ch and it gets sent to lolo@nl.active.ch I know that there must be a way to configure sendmail accordingly.
