Katz on Mon, Mar 09, 1998 at 03:11:30PM -0800 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I had this exact problem. When I aliased all my virtualhosts off the ethernet device sendmail would not honor the MX record for one of the domains which did not deliver locally. If anyone tried to send email to the the domain from the local machine it would bounce with a user not found. Mail sent off the local machine was sent fine. I went back to using the loopback and then arp -s ip ether pub to get the ip on the network and everything works fine. Weird problem... Paul Randy A.
