Changing that to Djstepstone.com seemed to do the trick. This is in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the Sun documentation which explicitly states "YP domains have nothing to do with mail domains". Thanks to this brain damage by Sun, I spent a day beating my head against the wall over this one, too. I too had to resort to hard-coding my domain name into the sendmail configuration file in order to convince Sun's sendmail that I really do know what I am doing and that it should not try to be smarter than me. Jeez, if they insist on hosing things up like this, the least they could do is not claim to the contrary in the documentation. Fifty lashes at least. --Greg
