figured it out... the domain in question's dns is set to CNAME to the main domain on that server, whereas, the remaining domains are just using the A record with the IP. I changed one of the other domains to use the CNAME and it did the same thing. So looks like thats the culprit.
I'll have to comb through the sendmail configuration and find out if I can reverse this behavior. On 7/13/07, Tanner Postert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
mail function returns 1(true) whether or not i'm sending to the new virtual host domain name or any random domain name. turns out sendmail function does the same thing, so it looks like it's a sendmail problem... but how is that possible if i've never configured anything for this new domain except for http virtual host config? hmm.
