It automatically adds something.

Thank you for your assistance.

I'm using sendmail to send an email over the internet.
But, When I ran that program with -V option,
I found out some strange thing.

I tried to email "Vic@hotmail.com" but it shows that "Vic@hotmail.com.company_domain.com"

Can I email to "Vic@hotmail.com" ?
How can I find why sendmail attach extra address?

Thanks

Within your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf do you have the following set?
Dj$w.company_domain.com

Hi,

company_domain.com may be getting added by your DNS server. Check "nslookup hotmail.com" is it resolving the name to proper IP address and it should return "Name: hotmail.com", if not rectify your Name server problem.
