Sendmail problem???

JediKnight2 · 05-22-2006, 02:38 PM

OK here is the deal and I have NO IDEA what is happening here. I have Sendmail setup and everything is working, has been since the server was activated a few years ago. The problem I am having is this....email addressed to mail@somehosteddomain.com is being sent to my root email on the server. I HAVE NO IDEA what is going on here...email addressed to john@somehostedomain.com is rejected....Help me Obi-Wan Kinobi your my only hope...

Little more info

Fedora Core 4
Sendmail 8.13.6

I DO have a mail alias of mail that gets sent to root...I just did
another test and I can send an email to ANY alias @anyofmydomains.com
and it gets sent to root...SURELY there is a way to stop this from
happening....

Maybe you could help me while you're on the topic of Sendmail?

Does /var/log/maillog show anything? Errors or whatnot?

Jedi
Has ALL mail stopped and is now going to root?
if so, your dns could be down
restart the named daemon to fix that

also .. try 'newaliases' to reload the redirect table, in case it;s crashed
and restart Sendmail if you havent

know how to restart them?
easiest is via x, and 'services' tab .. let me know if you need more
