Re: A Sendmail problem

Hi Greg

I have lines like that in my access file. I now fixed the problem by adding
false hosts record to the /etc/hosts file

192.168.1.2    Host_2
192.168.1.3    Host_3
etc for 253 lines

The problem was the the computer was sending the emails with the host name
of the computer added to the from line it mail.lan-house.net instead of
lan-house.net ie 'host+domain' not 'domain'.

I have found away using the sendmail.cf file to fix this but I would rather
use the M4 system.

Mike
