You mean your sendmail talking to the recipient's MTA directly ?
>From my experience (that might be incomplete ), MTAs run by "serious"
domains usually refuse to accept mail from anywhere but a resolvable
domain name, and there are probably other restrictions as well. As yet
my sendmail has been succesful at delivering mail addressed only to my
ISP's domain (my POP account for instance ). I'm sorry that I have no
better clue, if anybody has I'd also be glad to hear about it.
