This is possible if nde.vsnl.net.in is not there in your mailertable. The file mailertable.db needs to have this. Your mailertable should have entries like this, and then re-compiled to make mailertable.db: nde.vsnl.net.in smtp:nde.vsnl.net.in iitr.ernet.in smtp:smtp.iitr.ernet.in ..... ..... similar entries for other smtps to be used ..... from your server, and lastly local mail. ..... localhost local:localhost In case it still does not work, please send me the foll- owing files in personal mail for study: a) /etc/mail/aliases b) /etc/mail/mailertable c) /etc/mail/domaintable d) /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > > >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain <rai.iitr.ernet.in> does not exist > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This indicates that rai.iitr.ernet.is not a valid SMTP address. The rai (prefix) is erroneously being sent.
