To whom it may concern about configuring sendmail. I had a good assistance from KCLUG. I finally sorted it out since this morning configuring this sendmail. Let me tell you what the solutions and problems were. Solution: There was a line on the sendmail.cf file in my case /etc/mail/sendmail.cf I had to add this line: Cw infosavvy.tech.new.net approximately, line number 82. As a default, it was listed like this: Cwlocalhost I had to change this Cw my-domain-name This document is found on page 100 in the book "DNS and BIND" published by O'REILLY which is my favoriate publisher. The error message explained is almost(=exactly) same as that I had. As a matter of fact, this line may not be necessary to some sendmail that is already configured as mailer. I had a similar configuration before at my previous work place. Well, my DNS configuration was okay. Now, my system is singing as a name server, dns, and email server. Thanks for your big help, anyway. Joe Cho A member of KCLUG.
