[TriLUG] sendmail header question

[Joseph Tate]

Make sure that you're not connecting from localhost:  from localhost I get:

    HELO jtate.dragonstrider.com
    250 www.dragonstrider.com Hello localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1], 
pleased to meet you

But from a work computer, I get:
    HELO jtate.mi-messages.com
    250 www.dragonstrider.com Hello [204.85.2.183], pleased to meet you

If you don't get 250 <your hostname here> then you can manually set it 
in the sendmail.cf file.
look for Cwlocalhost.localdomain, but make sure you don't have something 
screwy in your /etc/hosts file.
