How do I get sendmail to deliver mail to local destinations? The system's hostname is home.isbd.net and it's connected to the Internet via a router. I have a CNAME set up at the hosting provider that hosts isbd.net to point at the static address of my ADSL connection.
Well, I'd guess that your sendmail config isn't right... You'll probably want to know about LOCAL_DOMAIN in the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file.
I have changed LOCAL_DOMAIN in the above file, have run "make -C /etc/mail" and have restarted sendmail, it still tries to send the mail out to the internet.
I have also discovered that sendmail reads a file called /etc/mail/local-host-names so I have changed that too, no joy.
I can see postfix coming along! :-)
All I *actually* want to do is to be able to see the mail that gets sent to root in my own account.
