nLocal sendmail issues when hostname not set in official domain name
Hi,
I'm having issues with sendmail when I try to send host to host mail. I've had to change the "my official domain name" line to mycompany.com to get the mails through the external spam filter, when a mail was sent with hostname.mycompany.com it was blocked. I had to change the Dj macro to mycompany.com to get round that, but in turn it’s now not allowing local mail to be sent. I get the error :
Code:
Aug 28 17:27:27 dbserver sendmail[1896584]: q7SGRRR1896584: from=user, size=3292, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201208281627.q7SGRRR1896584@mycompany.com>, relay=root@localhost
Aug 28 17:27:27 dbserver sendmail[1896584]: q7SGRRR1896584: SYSERR(root): reportserver.mycompany.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
Aug 28 17:27:27 dbserver sendmail[1896584]: q7SGRRR1896584: to=repadmin@reportserver.mycompany.com, ctladdr=user (5661/331), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=33292, relay=reportserver.mycompany.com. [10.5.2.90], dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error
every time I try to send a host to host mail. Is there anyway of presenting the hostname just when I send a host to host mail as that seems to work no problem. I see this error on the other host when I send a mail
Code:
Aug 28 17:01:54 reportserver mail:info sendmail[24150]: q7SG1s5P024150: dbserver.mycompany.com [10.1.2.10] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
It’s driving me mad I can either have unix to unix mail working or unix to mailbox mail working but not both at the same time!
I would appreciate any assistance.

When I connect to any IRC server, it's usually my ISP IP address/hostname. I own a domain, but I'm not using it for anything (no web hosting service or server). Is it possible for me to use my domain as my IRC hostname instead of my regular ISP hostname? (0 Replies)
I'm working on a rather large script atm (it already takes 9 arguments). As such, I need to obtain both a server name and domain from the FQDN. From this, I want to both populate the hostname of the server, as well as the domain line in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Obviously, this isn't working. I... (10 Replies)

local.users
local.users(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual local.users(4)NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.
DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for
a description of other local users.
You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.
A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.
The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line.
Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line.
After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: #
/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.
# Another comment. mariah # Another comment.
carey # Leading blanks are acceptable.
FILES
Specifies the path name for the file.
