SUMMARY: OT - sendmail.cf question

Hi All,

Before getting any responses back I managed to resolve it myself by doing
some reading and also some guessing!

The thing that fixed it was to change the following two lines ( I don't know
if I needed to change both, but I did anyway) under the Mether section,
from:

R$+                     $@$1<@$k>                    tack on my mbox
hostname

R$+                     $@$1<@$k>                    tack on my mbox
hostname

to:

R$+                     $@$1<@$k.$m>                    tack on my mbox
hostname

R$+                     $@$1<@$k.$m>                    tack on my mbox
hostname

Thereby adding the domain name ($m).

Regards,
Alan.

Subject: OT - sendmail.cf question



Hi All,

Firstly apologies for the Off Topic question.

I have a server running Solaris 5 and sendmail 8.6.

When I send e-mail from the server the e-mail is relayed to an NT server
which does the delivery.  This has worked fine for some time now.  Recently
the NT server was changed so that if the machine received e-mail from a
server that does not come from a FQDN it drops the e-mail.
Because of this I am not able to send e-mail from my Solaris 5 server
anymore.

If I send using sendmail -v from my server I get the following:

220 NTSERVER.a.b.com NT ESMTP 3.52 (build 1389) ready at Tue, 25 Mar 2003
09:43:32 +0200
>>> HELO a.b.com
250 NTSERVER.a.b.com: Hello a.b.com.
>>> MAIL From:<user@MyServer>
250 <user@MyServer>: Sender Ok
>>> RCPT To:<alanb@comparexafrica.co.za>
250 alanb@comparexafrica.co.za: Recipient Ok
>>> DATA
354 NTSERVER.a.b.com: Send data now.  Terminate with "."
>>> .
250 NTSERVER.a.b.com: Message accepted for delivery
>>> QUIT
221 NTSERVER.a.b.com closing connection. Goodbye!
alanb@comparexafrica.co.za... Sent (NTSERVER.a.b.com: Message accepted
for delivery)

Now, it never gets delivered as apparently where it says 250 <user@MyServer>
it should be saying 250 <user@MyServer.a.b.com>

It does do this from my other Sun servers but they are running Solaris 8 and
the sendmail.cf looks very different.

If anyone can tell me what to change to get the FQDN to be sent along I
would appreciate it!

I will summarize.

Regards,
Alan.
