Subject: RE: Why can't I e-mail to my IP address (Document link: Mark Wright)
I'm just using the default FreeBSD 4.0 sendmail install and config. 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.

Sounds to me like sendmail is not setup to take email by the address.
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.
