I know this isn't really the place for this, however comp.mail.sendmail hasn't been of any help so I'm hoping one of you geniuses has an idea what to do here before I go nuts. I am getting the 554 5.0.0 MX list for domain.com points back to myhost.name.com 554 5.3.5 <user@domain.com>... Local configuration error (names changed of course) This is caused because in our company, DNS entries are *always* set up to MX to our mail server regardless if the customers are going to use it. This makes enabling email on a domain easier on down the road. However, the problem is that now that over 2000 domains are pointing at the machine, we get around 300 or so postmaster messages a day with this complaint in them. That clutter is bad enough that we're sometimes missing the messages that we really do need to look at (spam complaints, our own email being returned, etc). What I'd like to do is make sendmail either A) send these specific errors to another user (not postmaster) while leaving all the other errors to natural means or B) /dev/null the the 554 5.0.0 things. In trying ./sendmail -bt, and using all the rule numbers I could find in my sendmail.cf, I was unable to find a rule that seemed to make the discovery that domain.com == myhost.name.com. In looking through the setup, it appears that this actual error message text actually comes out of /src/domain.h which I'm not about to try poking around in. Since we have multiple mail servers, and some bizarrely custom configurations, simply adding all the domains in BIND to local-host-names is not an option. What to do? Thoughts?
