Problem 1) On a SunSparc330 (4.2) running Sendmail.mx, all my addresses from the machine appear as user%sonne.cnns.unt.edu@vaxa.acs.unt.edu. The vax is the host I check mx records on. Why *must* it munge my address so? sonne.cnns.unt.edu is registered, but this % address sometimes causes other smtp mailers not to recognize me. Annoying. Problem 2) On a Masscomp 5700 running Sendmail, the machine does not recognize it's fqdn. For example, it recognizes user@nervous, but not user@nervous.cnns.unt.edu. It *does* fully qualify mail going off the machine (so that when I mail from it, my address is cluther@nervous.cnns.unt.edu), but won't accept that address on return. Also annoying. -- Clay W.

Annoying. This is being done by one or the other sendmail -- probably the sendmail.cf on the vax. Run it in test mode and see what ruleset is adding it. |> |>Problem 2) |> On a Masscomp 5700 running Sendmail, the machine does not recognize it's |> fqdn.

WHat does the command hostname return? Again, your sendmail.cf file needs to be made to know that nervous.cnns.unt.edu is it's name. Fred
