Getting further, I think I have a sendmail, DNS problem. HELP!


Please check this thread HERE to see the buildup to this new thread.

Ok, I've played around with a few things and so far as to get this error message from Outlook:


Task 'goliath - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC78) : 'Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address chris@bartlett-family.net does not resolve'

Things seem to be working a little better, but I am still working on it. Can anyone tell me what I might need to do to get sendmail working completely? Thanks a million!

Chris

It seems to me that there is obviously a problem with how sendmail is interacting with DNS, but I don't even know where to start looking! Also, the really weird thing is that if I don't have any mail to SEND from Outlook, the whole send/recieve process says "Completed" just fine! What's going on! My domain is bartlett-family.net, and I noticed that in my sendmail.cf file, there is NO instance of "bartlett-family" anywhere. HELP!!

By the way, the reason it wasn't working at all before is because sendmail was still configured to only listen on the loopback interface. Oops!
