You will have to make some changes in 'sendmail.cf' so that the local mailer is selected for any of: user, user@foghorn, user@foghorn.sfsu.edu Try running 'sendmail -bt' and running these addresses through ruleset 0. I can't tell you exactly what you need to change. It might be as simple as defining $D or $M to be your domain. Or it might just be a matter of getting domainname() correct. Most vendors put a few comments in sendmail.cf to help with the initial setup. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
