Sendmail says:

.. Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist.

This means sendmail cannot resolve the name. So look at name resolution
again. I would suspect the fault there.

Note: Sendmail will prefer to use named to resolve names before /etc/hosts.
You mentioned internal IP addresses. How do you resolve the name to it?

Subject: [SLUG] Sendmail giving 553 rejection errors.



Folks, when I turn _OFF_ the sendmail feature

FEATURE('accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl

I start to get the following emails being rejected by my mail hub (I have
changed the real domain-name for security reasons - and the IP address is
internal only).

Apr  9 16:33:12 panda sendmail[1387]: g396XCU01387: ruleset=check_mail,
arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=syd-dhcp-204.mydomain.com.au
[203.21.94.204], reject=553 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of
sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist

Apr  9 16:33:12 panda sendmail[1387]: g396XCU01387:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=0,
class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=syd-dhcp-204.mydomain.com.au [203.21.94.204]

Now, I have checked all the forward and reverse mapping in DNS and all
appears ok.

Anyone know why it does it and what I can do to fix it ?

Matt
