[TriLUG] sendmail config error ... eh, solved myself

[Turnpike Man]

Hi all.  Just as I was typing this message, the solution occurred to me, but I
thought I would share for posterity sake (solution at bottom):

In my quest to learn spamassassin, I am configuring sendmail on a new RH 9
installation.  I followed my sendmail.mc sample from RH 7.2, fairly similar,
there are some new things in the latest sendmail version of sendmail.mc.  So...
after matching everything I could think, reading thru all the comments of the
new stuff, here is the error message I get when I try to send a message to
myself on the server using pine... same results using mutt (which was my first
time using mutt and I didn't like it).

Any thoughts?  I can't seem to find the local configuration problem.  If I
can't get sendmail running right, how will I ever get to try SA!  :)
Thanks!

Solution: DUH! I forgot to put dynpro.dyntrain.com and dyntrain.com into the
/etc/mail/local-host-names !!  So sue me... :)  Thanks anyway!
