 Hi there - just FYI, I'm pretty sure that if you have
earthlink.net in your /etc/sendmail.cw file, you won't
be able to send any mail to anybody else at earthlink.net;
your mail server will think it's intended for your machine
and since, for example, eogren probably isn't a user on your
machine, the mail will bounce with "eogren: unknown user".
 You also don't need a Dj$ if you use the DM option, unless
you want sendmail to show "earthlink.net ESMTP sendmail".

 I'm not positive that I'm right (God knows I'm no sendmail expert),
but I am pretty sure.

Eric
