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! Sundar
