How do I tell sendmail that localhost is 'here'? Even better would be if I could tell sendmail that home.isbd.net is 'here' too but maybe that's expecting too much!
Add domains that are local to local-host-names.
-bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/mail/local-host-names # local-host-names - include all aliases for your machine here.
I've already done that:-
home# more /etc/mail/local-host-names # names of hosts for which we receive email home.isbd.netIt's surely not necessary/useful to put localhost in there it it?
No, you can edit sendmail.mc, so the following line looks:
dnl # Also accept email sent to "localhost.localdomain" as local email. dnl # LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl
Then:
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf (this overwrites/autogenerates sendmail.cf)
As far as I can see the default Slackware sendmail.cf has this set already.
... but as I said I've solved the problem by using postfix.
