I did some verbose sendmail test sends earlier this morning.  The
hostname of the box I was testing isn't a FQDN (well, the domain is, but
the hostname itself isn't).  I used sendmail without the -f (From:) flag
set, so my from address was something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My observation is that it seems like some mailservers don't verify if
host.ceruleansoftware.com exists at all, and simply accepts the message
I sent.  Some does, and it gives me an error message:

>>> MAIL from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=80
501 5.1.8 Sender domain must exist
getmxrr(ceruleansoftware.com., droplocalhost=1)

My question now is, how does one enable this "domain verification"
feature in QMail, if ever there's one?

Thanks!
