sendmail configuration problems (hylafax mail to fax gateway)


Hello all,

If you are familiar with Sendmail, then I'm sure this question is a very basic one, but I've been trying hard to figure out myself without any success.

Basically, I have to redirect all xxxxx@01234567.FAX addresses to the faxmail program. Right now, all TLD "fax" try to get resolved instead of being recognized correctly as a fake TLD. Since the sendmail.cf is so long, I will include only the relevant parts here. If I miss one important part, just let me know, I'll add it later.

Code:

Here's some tests I did. Notice that my .fax addresses to #local in ruleset 0 instead of #fax:

Code:

Enter <ruleset> <address>

Parse0           returns: test @ 0123456789 . fax

parse            returns: $# esmtp $@ 0123456789 . fax . $: test < @ 0123456789 . fax . >
I assume my error is in Ruleset 0, but if some specialist could point me into the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
