Sendmail Script don't deliver mails
Hi,

i've got a problem with a sendmail script, which sends HTML mails. Some mail will rejected by the mail server, because the fqdn doesn't exist.

Where can i set the sender-domainname by sendmail?

Quote:
MTA=/usr/lib/sendmail
VERSION=1.0

{
echo "From: $4"
echo "To: $3"
echo "Subject: $2"
echo "X-Mailer: htmlmail" $VERSION
echo "Mime-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII"
echo
echo "$1"

} | eval $MTA "$3"


exit 0
My mail server say: "Sender address rejected: Domain not found;", which is correct because of the wrong sender domain.

Thanks
Sven

What output you get with :
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -d0 -bt </dev/null

?

You can set the sender address by "-f". That is:

Code:
eval $MTA -f "$4" "$3"
