Well, seems that the more I experiment with sendmail, the more questions I have. My apologies if this is a FAQ, but what is the proper way to get sendmail to use the name server to resolve mail delivery. I have configured a MR and MB record for my mailbox, but still can get it to work. If I address mail directly to my account@host.domain, it works great. Addressing though to account@domain bounces. A sample rejected message follows: From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Jan 3 04:32:53 1988 Received: by yqlhost.Cral.CA.
