I'm trying to set up sendmail 8.11.5 on Solaris 2.4.
I have

define(`SMART_HOST',`post.demon.co.uk')

in my .mc file, and hence

DSpost.demon.co.uk

in my .cf file. This machine is the one my ISP provides
for me to send email to. But when I try to send email,
I get an email back from my ISP quoting an SMTP dialogue
with punt-1.mail.demon.net, which is the machine that
my ISP uses to send me email. I am not supposed to try
to send email to this machine, so the dialogue describes
a failure.

There is no "punt" in my .cf or .mc file, so how have I
managed to start such an SMTP dialogue?

Alternatively, does anyone know which debug option(s)
I should turn up to get more information about what
sendmail is doing here?

Thanks,

S.
