I did this just by creating .forward in /root and adding the following:
joe@bean (bean is the home ocmputers names)
Hope this helps.
It will help not.

Here is the message I'm receiving:
Returned mail: see transcript for details
Date: 04-17-2005 0429
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The original message was received at Sun, 17 Apr 2005 04:29:32 -0700
from root@localhost

(reason: 553 5.5.4 <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... Real domain name required

(expanded from: root)
The DSN the recipient MTA gives is pretty clear. It does not accept
unresolvable domain names - which is fine.

Hi Alexander:
So how do I get the name to resolve now? Between /etc/resolve.conf
and /etc/hosts I would think that would not be a problem.
/etc/resolve.conf <<<
search home
nameserver 204.127.198.4
nameserver 63.240.76.4
nameserver 12.242.16.50
/etc/hosts <<<
192.168.0.10 linux.home linux
127.0.0.1 linux2 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.20 dos.home dos
192.168.0.30 win2k.home win2k
192.168.0.40 betty.home betty
192.168.0.50 laptop.home laptop
192.168.0.100 test.home test
192.168.0.15 linux2.home linux2
I had some questions in my original post that your comment above don't answer.
What is it in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc that needs to be changed?
Sorry if I seem dense. Getting older and beginning to have dementia problems
is my only excuse. Thanks for your help, both for myself and others on this
list.
Thanks, Tom
Tom,
First, 'ping localhost.home', if ping does not receive any replies do
the following:
In your /etc/hosts file, add 'localhost.home' to the line for 127.0.0.1
so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 linux2 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost.home
There is no need for any big Sendmail tweaks since your local machine is
just trying (unsuccessfully) to deliver to itself.
Regards,
Ken
