I implemented each of your suggestions one at a time. Still the same behavior. (I restarted sendmail after each change, even though I knew that wasn't necessary) Each time an e-mail arrives, it still goes through 26 hops (25 max) before being delivered by default.
So maybe it's not a name resolution issue. Put in on the back burner, come back to it later. Can you post the contents of these files?
/etc/mail/local-host-names /etc/mail/relay-domains /etc/mail/virtusertable /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
I don't know if I missed any. The point is to check the sendmail files that control local delivery. What version of Red Hat Linux are you using, by the way, and am I correct in assuming that you've updated to the latest stable sendmail for that version?
