Hi,

I've configured sendmail to relay all local and remote e-mail to an
exchange server for distribution.

The relay to remote address is working just fine.

The only problem I have is with the relaying of the local e-mail.

Name of my machine: my_local
Name of our exchange server: my_exchg
Name of our domain: my_domain.com

When my machine relays the e-mail to the exchange server, this is what
happens:

MAIL From:<root@my_domain.com>
root@my_domain.com....Sender OK
RCPT To:<hector@my.exchg.my_domain.com>
Sent.

The e-mail gets received by the exchange server just fine, but why is
sendmail changing my address to hector@my.exchg.my_domain.com ?

What I want is for sendmail just to say: hector@my_domain.com .

Now, this only happens when the cron job sends an e-mail to hector
(local address) without specifying the address, just to "hector".
If the cron job sends it to "hector@hotmail.com", the exchange server
gets the correct addres.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your .

Hector B.

Perhaps you could post the output of

grep -v '^dnl' < sendmail.mc
grep -v '^dnl' < submit.mc
