If sendmail accepts sj@hostname.mydomain.org, though, I think it should accept sj@123.123.123. I don't think I even have a sendmail.cw. That's the input to m4, right? I think that the FreeBSD sendmail.cf comes pre-compiled. Mark.

Have you checked your virtusertable for an entry of this email address? Of cource that is only if you are using the virtusertable database. Next try looking in sendmail.cw for your ip address. This is a list of domains that sendmail accepts mail for.
