Thanks. > > Joe > I had a similar problem. Mail to host faxgate.acs.ohio-state.edu would not work correctly for me (my domain is acs.ohio-state.edu). When I investigated the problem I discovered that all mail sent to a host inside my domain was considered "local". What this means is that next's sendmail is configured to send local mail without the domain. Thus mail to "joe@faxgate.acs.ohio-state.edu" would be sent as "joe@faxgate". The host that handles mail for faxgate wanted to see the whole domain and so it bounced the message. I reconfigured the sendmail.mailhost.cf (this was the sendmail config that I was using) to send mail to the next's in my netinfo config as "local" and everything else as "non-local". This solved my problem. I'm not sure if my problem was the same as yours but it sounds like it. --- Jeff Schluep Email: JEFF+@osu.edu The Ohio State University 1971 Neil Avenue Phone: (614) 292-4843 Columbus, Ohio 43210 Fax: (614) 292-1268
