Fw: [SLE] One more sendmail question
Hi Chris,

It is eSaravana.com. When I transferred the text to the mail I mis-typed.

When I try to send mail, I get the following error
on Netscape
Response: 501 5.1.8 <sundar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.. Domain of sender
> > address sundar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx does not exist.
On my Mail server log:

> > Apr 8 15:16:26 snoopy sendmail[1138]: f38MGQk01138:
> > ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<sundar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>,

Any help is appreciated!
