Problem with Sendmail
Hi all,

I am new to this forums, so please be kind to me Smilie

Anyways, I have this problem when I am trying to send out email using sendmail.

I can send an email to gmail.com or other email host, but when I am trying to send an email to email address removed by moderator or anything to the calvinchan.net domain, the relay read as mail.calvinchan.net.calvinchan.net, and it should just be mail.calvinchan.net. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to solve this problem? I have been googling all over the place but still couldn't find an answer. I was hoping someone in this community can guide me.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best,
Calvin

We will try....
What is the OS, what is the sendmail version, get some logs, run debug mode, search the forum for related sendmail topics.
