Yes it does, if you want rigel to send mail to altair it has to be this way. (you could turn DNS off on rigel and play lots of games to avoid the MX to altair but it would be painful). Just don't allow out going mail to include "altair" in the address. Make sure all outgoing mail shows as coming from user@orionsys.com and that Reply-To: is set the same. Bounces and such will go directly to altair, but they're supposed to anyway. Normal mail will go through rigel. > If I make it: > > orionsys.com. IN MX 10 rigel.orionsys.com. > rigel.orionsys.com.

Right, sendmail does an MX lookup and sees that it is the best MX for the mail but altair isn't in its Cw and mail to altair is not shunted off to a different host (sending it to altair doesn't count) so it complains. Giving altair its own MX resolves this. Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
