Dennis,
Your defualt setting in the sendmail.cf file prevents sendmial from recieving mail accept on the local machine (127.0.0.1)
DAEMON OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=mta')dnlThis should be all on one line. Your email may have truncated it.
The machine which you are sending mail must have a valid FQDN. With junk mail running rampid these days, most properly adminstered MTAs will reject mail from a host which dosen't reverse resolve or dosen't have a proper host lookup. localhost.localdomain is a dummy hostname used for looping on a single machine (or sometimes on a closed network).

Some time ago I was trying to send root mail to an isp smtp mail.m.mynet.net.au. I have succeeded in sending the email when doing a test, but I get the following error.
553 sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist (#5.7.1)
The domain of the machine is localhost.localdomain.
I want only to be able to send email (to my email address and a work address) logs to myname@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I do not want to receive mail only send root mail and log files.
Is there a simple way of doing this.
I have had assistance previously which helped a lot.

Dennis @ Scone
