do you have "fax.foo.com" in /etc/mail/local-host-names ? if not that
name won't be seen as local and sendmail on 192.168.1.100 will try to
relay mail to that fqdn (that's directed to it due the the dns entry).
welll,,,,,,
fax.foo.com is. But 222.fax.foo.com is not. Nor is sales.fax.foo.com or
2342.fax.foo.com, etc.
the design here is that the fax server will dial an extension and on the
header page indicate the fax is for user (user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). This is
what all the documentation points to. The arg for faxmail is: -d user@ext

I have a sendmail question.
Can someone point me to a list appropriate to get some
sendmail.mc help?

try here first
My fax server (fax.foo.com) is suppose to receive mail to:
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and execute:
/usr/bin/faxmail -d user@ext
I found the following items to add to sendmail.mc:
define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/faxmail')dnl
define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12pt $u@$h $f')dnl
MAILER(`fax')dnl
I have set up DNS with a pseudo domain:
sip.foo.com. IN A 192.168.1.100
fax.foo.com. IN A 192.168.1.100
*.fax.foo.com. IN MX 10 fax.foo.com
nslookup shows this to work, and in fact my POP mail server does
try to send mail addessed:
to: joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To fax.foo.com, that gets sent back to me with the error
information:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 5.0.0 MX list for 222.fax.foo.com. points back to sip.foo.com
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error
sendmail is NOT suppose to try to relay; it is suppose to accept
this for local delivery, and not do a DNS lookup on
222.fax.foo.com....
So obviously I need more sendmail help. Then I will have to set it
up via webmin....
It is interesting that when you ask this question directly on the
Hylafax mail list, either no one answers, or point you to URLs that
give partial answers.
I know that DNS can act strange with 2 A records to the same
address. That is what CNAME is suppose to be for. Now that I see
that I am not expecting email to sip.foo.com, I could make that the
cname. Of course the host name is sip.foo.com with fax a service
on it....
