sendmail Relay

Hi,

I'm confusing about the sendmail relay. I intended to send mail (as root) to my local user in the same machine but it goes to other workstation. Could I reconfigure for:-

1. The workstation when received mail then deliver back mail to user in my machine.

br,
Munawwar

Here is the result that I got:-

Ahmad,

Check your /etc/mail/sendmail.cw and make sure all the names your system might be known as are listed.

The /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file should contain an entry for all the possible names by which this system might be known. This will allow sendmail to determine whether or not local mail should be accepted by this system. The file should contain one line each for the FQDN, the hostname alone, and 'localhost.' The hostname entries should match exactly the hostname in /etc/hosts

Looks like you may have sendmail aliases setup :-

snapadm@sdp2.foo.com... aliased to root@sdp_ws1

Edit /etc/mail/aliases and remove the entry for snapadm@sdp2.foo.com

Stop and start sendmail
