Yes it is and in my experience you will get help there. Keep your fingers crossed for Per Hedlund to respond if you do post there. Keep in mind that I have configured sendmail so many times I can't even count them but every time I have to completely refresh my memory. What I'm getting at is that any advice I give here may be tainted with poorly remembering the steps I've been thru. With the part about sendmail not knowing what host it is running on: You can solve this by how you list the localhost in /etc/hosts. I don't remember the exact reasons or format but I believe sendmail calls `gethostbyname' which looks first at /etc/hosts. This is the format I currently have: 127.0.0.1 reader.local.lan reader localhost In your case you might try (to conform with the posted sendmail.mc): 127.0.0.1 myhost.local myhost localhost A further point about documentation... you may have mentioned this but I did not see it. The document /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README Has a lot of help but may be thin on exact details at times. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
