For some reason, it seems that my send mail is not accepting mail.
(this is a
new install, SUSE 7.2). I've got my domain setup correctly as
73rdstreetdemo.com. I'm
99% sure it is correct because I had a redhat linux at that location
before that was working
perfectly.
I can send out of my system, but when I sent to it, the mail bounces
with the following
message.
Any ideas what to check? this is an out of the box install. I have
changed the name thru
yast2 a couple times, but it never errored, and I always rebooted.

Take a look at the contents of your sendmail.config.rc file, this is
located at /etc/rc.config.d/sendmail.rc.config and make sure that the
following are set correctly
SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST="localhost yourhost yourhost.yourdomain.com"
SENDMAIL_RELAY=""
SENDMAIL_GENERICS_DOMAIN="yourhost.yourdomain.com"
SENDMAIL_TYPE="yes"
if these arn't set accordingly, then you probably have an incorrectly set
rc.config file, the last option tells sendmail to get it's configuration
options from the rc.config file.
If things look correct inside your sendmail.rc.config and rc.config
files, then take a look at the relay-domains file, located at
/etc/mail/relay-domains and add your FQDN (fully qualified domainname), if
the file doesn't exist, create it and add your FQDN. You can also take a
look at the contents of your access file located at /etc/mail/access and
see what's inside. You should, at the least, have
127 RELAY
but you can also add your ip class to see if that fixes it
192.168 RELAY
sendmail will need to be rebuilt if either the relay-domains file or
access files are modified, this is best done with SuSEconfig if you've set
the SENDMAIL_TYPE to yes.
