-------- I would wellcome any help you could give me a new comer to the world of sendmail. My problem is that we have a ethernet on which we have many differnet machines including suns and micro-vaxes On one machine (a vax) we run mmdf. We would like to arrange for all the machines to send mail that they cannot resolve to this vax. If the user says fred@xxy.ac.uk then we pass this to the vax ok but if the user say fred@somewhere sendmail tries to send this to a host called somewhere on our net (it fails). In the comments to the ultrix gereric.mc 3.3 it appears that we can define FS/etc/hosts and this looks as if this should spot that "somewhere" is undefined and try our central machine but this is not the case What am I doing (or not doing) wrong? --------
