Has anyone solved the problem with their sendmail configuration if a host has two different domains. We are presently receiving mail addressed to usafa.af.mil and usafa.arpa. I seem to have kludged something to work by adding another rule in rule set zero, but I am not sure if it is correct. Thanks, geoff

I've a few questions about ruleset 0 in sendmail.cf The following is defined in sendmail.cf: # Supersmart relay. Used when all other attempts to deliver fail DSmailgzrz.tu-berlin.de # UUCP relay host DRmailgzrz.tu-berlin.de The following rule from ruleset 0 works correct: R$*<@$*.UUCP>$* $#tcp$@$[$R$]$:$1<@$2.UUCP> uucp mail but the following rule also works correct: R$*<@$*.UUCP> $#tcp$@$S$:$1@$2.UUCP user@host.UUCP The question for me is "Why do both rules work correctly ?" What is the meaning of the "[" and "]" on the RHS ? Why are sometimes "<" and ">" on the RHS and sometimes not ? Thanks for enlightning a sendmail beginner.
