I'll RTFS as soon as I finish my last exam (Wednesday - I guess *that's* what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for atm... ;-) ) and if I don't find the reason I'll look into the sendmail mailing list. > I don't remember the exact reasons or format but I believe sendmail > calls `gethostbyname' which looks first at /etc/hosts. Yes, I read that in the docs. I made up the domain .local and everything's completely fine now - I just wonder _why exactly_ sendmail needs to have an imaginatory domain name. > A further point about documentation... you may have mentioned this > but I did not see it. >=20 > The document /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README > Has a lot of help but may be thin on exact details at times. Thanks, I've read through most of the stuff in the /usr/share/doc/sendmail*/ directory and also through the online docs at sendmail.org and a lot of stuff on the net I googled for (like installation instructions for majordomo). They all essentially say that sendmail.cf should have one of the following: either `Tuser' or `Ctuser' or `Ft/file/with/trusted/users'. I tried all of them and though # egrep '^T' sendmail.cf=20 Troot Tdaemon Tuucp Taleks seems to be OK I still don't seem to have any luck. I usually generate sendmail.cf through m4 and senmdmail.mc, but even with editing sendmail.cf manually I don't get any results...
