Ok, one more prob I'm having...

I had a machine setup with RH6 and sendmail was tooling right along processing the virtual domain I had setup. I had mailing lists, etc. all doing just fine.

::::-----Enter catastrophic hard drive failure----:::::

Now I've picked up the pieces, and rebuilt the system with RH7 (what better time to upgrade than a total rebuild?) and things are going along fine.

BUT, I just can't seem to get this stupid sendmail setup right. The non-virtual host name processes its mail fine, but I can't figure out why the virtual host doesn't...

Errors are of the "user name not found" variety. I have tried both linuxconf setup of virtual mail and the same way I did it in RH6 - config the virthost stuff and the aliases...still nothing. Either I get the not found error or the mail evaporates into thin air. No errors in sendmail logs or sys logs either. (?!?!)

I know one of you has sendmail processing virtual hosts with no probs on RH7 out there...how'd ya do it?

TIA...

Type the following at a command prompt. Is the virtual host you are trying to accept mail for listed? What is in your virtusertable file?

I did the $=w...

3 listings come back, the host name, the virtual host, and a weird version of my host name.

crescendo.dsl.qx.net <-- host name
scctech.org <-- virtual host
crescendo.dsl <-- ??huh?

I also get the following error when I run the $=w...

Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.11.0 supports version 9, .cf file is version 8

my virtusertable is as follows:
test@scctech.org test-scctech.org

test-scctech.org is setup in the aliases file to pipe thru a mailing list prog (Mailman) -

I have since discovered that the sendmail setup is working...because in the virtusertable if I add

foo@scctech.org me@me.com

me@me.com gets the mail NO problem. The problem must be with my mailing list aliases...let me work on this and get back with you all...thanks for the help!

Ok, thanks...

You sparked some thoughts, and I checked everything out...

the problem lies in the mailing list software...not in virtual hosting -

so, hooray, but also boo...

At least I know I'm not nuts - I thought it was set up correctly...!

Thanks anyway!
