I have (well almost) configured a linux machine as a internet gateway and mail server. It is to server aproximately 20 Win95 machines. However I am having trouble configuring the host names. The eth0 port, IP 192.168.1.1 has a name of gcsintranet The ppp0 port (also using diald) is Ip 194.222.134.168 has a name of the thegrangecs, in the domain thegrangecs.demon.co.uk My etc/hosts looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 gcsintranet 194.222.134.168 thegrangecs.demon.co.uk thegrangecs When I run sendmail -d0.11 all domain references are with respect to gcsintranet - not thegrangecs. Therefore all my mail goes out with gcsintranet as the sender. If I don't qualify the gcsintranet with a domain, e.g. .com, the sendmail deamon takes an age running, as does mailq, nslookup etc. How do I reflect this configuration in my sendmail.cf/.cw configuration. I have purchased the 'Bat Book' - however, either it doesn't clearly define how I need to configure my system - or I just don't understand it! 8-0 Also, I have e-mail forwarding using grange.com, which gets sent to the same address as thegrangecs.demon.co.uk Any help would be most appreciated. Many tia Paul.
