sendmail ignores mailertable and threatens domain as local keywords : sendmail domain local class{w} mailertable I just had a local domainname that was setup in mailertable to a specific mailer, but sendmail always threatened this domain like a local domain, although I made sure that it is not !! short solution: sendmail converts domains to its canoical forms. if your domain is a cname for another domain, then sendmail converts the name internally. if you send to user@imap.local and imap.local is a cname for server.local then sendmail in fact thinks you send to user@server.local. So give all your domains a A-record that should not be in your class{w}. long story: mailertable: imap.local goldfisch:standard nevertheless mails to imap.local where not feeded to the goldfisch-mailer but to the local mailer by making sure that it is not in local-host-names-file (FEATURE(`use_cw_file')) and I setup define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',`True') and really, the domain did not show up in: echo \$=w | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d0.1 But then - as pointed out in KB-377 - I got a debug-command for debugging adresses: (replace peter@imap.local with the adress you want to test !!!) echo '3,0 peter@imap.local' | sendmail -d21.12 -d8.20 -d60.5 -bt and this showed me that sendmail looks up the caonical hostname for every domain and that my imap.local was just a CNAME for server.local which was in class{w}. So sendmail internally converted imap.local to server.local and the mail was trapped in class{w} again. I had to change the zonefile so that imap.local got a real A-record instead of a CNAME and everything was fine. serial : 378 If you found any nonsense in this entry or want to see important improvements, I would appreatiate to receive your comments at knowledge@goldfisch.at disclaimer : all these entries are part of my very private knowledgebase that I created while solving problems.
