I would like to jump in here with another sendmail question though not dealing with DSL yet. I have a machine, lnx1 configured to use my domain, holmesgrown.com; thus my machine address would be lnx1.holmesgrown.com. When I have mail coming in to me, I use an e-mail address such as steve at holmesgrown.com. Notice that lnx1 is removed. How do I configure sendmail on my machine to handle the incoming mail? What I've been doing lately is to use procmail and filter all mail I pop down with fetchmail and resend it to local users on my lnx1 box. I would like to find a cleaner way to do this. I think I need to do something with aliases for sendmail or set up a sendmail DBM file or something. Any ideas on how best to do this? -----Original Message----- From: Klarich, Terry [mailto:terry.klarich@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 8:19 AM To: 'speakup at braille.uwo.ca'; SPEAKUP Distribution List Subject: RE: dsl and sendmail as root do a "sendmail -q -v" and see what you get. You should get some kind of error. Let me know what that is. Terry -----Original Message----- From: Raul A.

I apologize for this off-topic message in advance but I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. Yesterday I switched from using my rr.com cable modem to earthlink dsl. I've installed roaring penguin and have successfully connected to the net. I can surf just fine now. The problem is if I try to send mail through my Linux box sendmail is not sending any mail and this started when I switched from using the road runner to the dsl. The only thing I can think of is that because the dsl connection uses ppp0 instead of eth0 that might have something to do with it, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm using slackware 7.0 with some ugraded packages to 7.1. As I stated, this worked before and still does if I switch to the road runner cable modem but not with the ppp0 interface using dsl. Any ideas? I'm still using the default sendmail.cf which came with slcakware. I've nothad to modify it before. I've also kept my gallegos.asmodean.net name on the linux box which is how it was setup for rr.com and that part has not changed. Thanks. Raul A.
