New subject: [SLE] One more sendmail question

9 Apr 2001

      I think that the problem is on MX record on your DNS, because :
1) you can send internal e-mail
2) you can send external e-mail( this e-mail is sent from sundar on 
esaravana.com)

the user Sundar is on the snoopy (right?) and when you try to send an e-
mail to sundar@esaravana.com from the same user, the DNS server doesn't 
known who is the Mail Exchanger (MX).

Please try 
- nslookup
- nslookup
...
set querytype=mx
esaravana.com
  -----> Now you should see: esaravana.com preference = 10, mail 
exchanger = snoopy.esaravana.com

Hi
I think that the domain in sendmail files isn't correct
Is your hostname "snoopy"?
Yes and it's my mail server, web server, gateway
----> Try to send a mail from sundar@snoopy to sundar@snoopy.
Successful
...
------> View /etc/sendmail.cw, where you find the domain that the 
sendmail
manages. Here there must be "snoopy", "snoopy.esaravana.com" and
"esaravana.com".
I did not see this file in my system. So I created one.
---------> How you have created the user sundar? It must be 
inserted into
/etc/aliases in the following format sundar: local_user. , then you 
must
launch the command "newaliases"
I modified /etc/aliases with text editor(would it make any 
difference) and
added
sundar:    sundar
...
Now I am able to send and receive in the local(snoopy) machine. But 
if I go
to my Solaris(FQNM:charlie.esaravana.com; also my DNS for domain
esaravana.com) I get the same error

Hello,
I finally managed to configure my mail server at home on my gateway 
with
sendmail/qpopper. I am able to receive my mail from default
root(root@snoopy) account to any of my other local accounts(e.g
Sundar@eSaravana.com). But when I try to send mail from any of my 
local
accounts(Sundar@eSaravana.com) to itself(Sundar@eSaravana.com) -- I 
have
just created only one account -- I get following error message
Sending failed:
a SMTP error occurred.
Command: MAIL.
Response: 501 5.1.8 .. Domain of sender 
address
sundar@esaravanana.com exist.
My local DNS server runs on another machine and the domain is
--esaravana.com
And my sendmail configuration is as follows
snoopy:~ # sendmail -d0.1
Version 8.11.2
Compiled with: LDAPMAP MAP_REGEX LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
               NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS 
NISPLUS QUEUE
               SCANF SMTP TCPWRAPPERS USERDB
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
     (short domain name) $w = snoopy
 (canonical domain name) $j = snoopy.esaravana.com
        (subdomain name) $m = esaravana.com
             (node name) $k = snoopy
========================================================
Recipient names must be specified
Any help!
