Prev: sending mail using msmtp
Next: strange string appended to every sendmail command -- how can I fix?
From: scottoertel on 24 Jun 2008 10:04
I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 with sendmail 8.14.3

We have a domain in the local configuration, such as domain.com, in
the access file. It is allowed to receive and send mail. This part
works great.

Then we have a subdomain, such as sub.domain.com which has a
different, remote, mx record. The email being sent to user(a)domain.com
has a procmail rule setup to forward email to user1(a)sub.domain.com .
Unfortunately sendmail believes that sub.domain.com is a local domain
and rejects with user unknown.

how do I set sendmail to not treat those two domains as the same
domain? I have a similar configuration on a different server, but with
a different domain, and it works.. I've compared everything I could
think of but haven't gotten any where with it.

According to the above sendmail should try to send to non local host
fm.testfm.biz [ it looks OK ] => playing with confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES
should not be necessary.

0) what is reported by the test command below?
sendmail -bv fmtest2(a)fm.aplusfm.biz
1) Try to send test message as root in verbose mode

(echo subject: test; echo) | sendmail -v -Am fmtest2(a)fm.aplusfm.biz
