# My sendmail is driving me crazy

Welcome!

:-)

# [...] sendmail.cf that the smail 2.5 script made for me:
# 
#   Dwstpstn
#   DDstepstone.com
#   DA.UUCP
#   CDUUCP stepstone
# 
# Are these rational for what I want?

I always have to modify the hell out of these.  Try:

    CDUUCP stepstone stpstn stepstone.com

Add more if this doesn't do it for you.

#   # Relay host.  Used at the end of S0 as the general depository for 
#   # addresses which didn't resolve locally.  
# 
#   DRstpstn

Ooops.  You can't be your own relay -- this would be some other host which
you trusted to know more about mail addresses than yours does.  If you don't
have one, comment this out.  I see below that you aren't using it, so it
doesn't really matter.

# Again, is this what I should be doing?
# 
#   ####R$*<@$->:$+		$#uux$@$2$:$1$3			forward to $2
#   R$*<@$*>$*		$#uux$@$2$:$1$3			hand to uucp
#   #R$*<@$*>$*		$#uux$@$R$:$1@$2$3		hand to uucp relay
#   #R$*<@$*>$*		$#ether$@$R$:$1@$2$3		hand to ether relay
#   #R$*<$*>$*		$#error$:unknown address $1$2$3	don't hand anywhere

Yup.

You're very close.  Keep trying :-).
