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?
Code:
echo $=w | sendmail -bt

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Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.11.0 supports version 9, .cf file is version 8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

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!
Clifton :)
