I have sendmail 8.10X running in my linux box named mysite.com. This is used ONLY for sending emails. if i have my domain name web.mysite.com. but my email address is resoving to user@web.mysite.com
My sendmail.cf entry:
Djwebmysite.com
My requirement is to set outgoing email addresses to user@mysite.com. but all emails send from this host to user@mysite.com
I can do it with "Djmysite.com" but all the mails sent to user@mysite.com are delivered locally instead of mx.mysite.com
your advice required
thanks in advance

Re: sendmail tweak required
The script may do a little more than you need.
You an also handle this with user entries in the files genericstable and virtusertable in /etc/mail . These files can let you essentially alias incoming and outcoming mail to a local user on the Linux box. An entry in /etc/aliases might do the trick to.
user@mysite.com: localuser
All these configuration files are tab delimited.
The build script will work either way and restart the sendmail daemon when done.

Re: sendmail tweak required
You should be able to get around that (if it's to be delivered locally) by using a Cw line (or if you have an Fw line, an entry in the file it points to).

Re: sendmail tweak required
If the remote is a sendmail system, you should get a big-long-banner, something like:
220 mysite.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.5; Fri, 24 Oct 2003 14:08:19 +1000
If it's an exchange server, you should get something similar (or with lots of ***'s).
Either way, to be SMTP RFC complient, it has to throw you a line starting with 220.
