I run sendmail on my SuSE 8.1 system and use it for both incoming and outgoing email. recently, AOL (and netscape.net) started to reject all email coming from Comcast dynamic IP hosts. So, the apparent solution is to edit /etc/mail/mailertable: .aol.com smtp:an.smtp.host .netscape.net smtp:an.smtp.host

I did this and created the mailertable.db.

I then restarted the sendmail daemon. And, email for both of these domains is still being sent directly. I also rebuilt my sendmail.cf using YaST with no success.

I can set my sendmail.cf to send all email through another host, but I would prefer to do it only for aol and netscape at the moment. It appears that I am missing some step in the configuration. Both the sendmail.cf that I had crafted and the one built by YaST contain: # Mailer table (overriding domains) Kmailertable hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db

Any ideas. The documentation in mailertable uses a leading dot as in the entries I have above. The solution is to remove the leading dot: aol.com smtp:an.smtp.host netscape.net smtp:an.smtp.host

That appears to work fine. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
