Hello,

  does anybody know how to setup /etc/sendmail.cf for the following
configuration ?

  Host A, host B and host C are 3 different hosts in the same domain.
  Host A should be the mail exchanger for host A, host B and host C
  (information known by the local nameserver in the MX records).

The problem is that one can send mails to host A successfully, but
no more to host B. One get's "Returned mail: Local configuration error".
It's no problem to send a mail to host A from anywhere and to send a
mail from host B (or C) to itself.

Thanks in advance.

Henry
