sendmail-8.12.5-7 on RHL 8 (psyche)
Basically, I have crons that send me an email report on whether they completed or not. My pager host recently opt'd to start SPF or some sort of verification of domains, as what onced worked no longer does.
I figured that's because I don't have sendmail configured to do anything other than send from "localhost.localdomain"
So to a sendmail quickstart and my nameserver I went.
First, I put an MX record in my local DNS (it does not update on the 'net, just used for internal lookups)
... mail IN A 10.0.1.10 MX 0 mail.mydomain.gov ...
Then I went to sendmail.cf (/etc/mail/sendmail.cf)...
Djmydomain.gov
/I know I should use the MC files, but this is not a mail server of any use whatsoever; could this be a source of my problem?/
I restarted sendmail...
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
I restarted my named...
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart
Then I tried sending a test email...
$ mail tstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: test test ^D
Nothing happens and I get bounced.
Attached is my bounced email.
Many thanks! Tim
