New name follows. The host calls itself "aldan". How to configure sendmail so that it will accept mail, addressed to it's teporary name? I tried: <user>@ppp-83-32, <user>%aldan@ppp-83-32 and ppp-83-32!aldan!<user> With no success. Well, after a while, root@aldan receives an error report with too many hops -- my machine, receiving mail for some fanky ppp-83-32 gives it back to the mail-gateway, which in turn gives it back... Thanks! -mi -- И пусть никто не уйдёт обиженным... -- Why is that 2 o'clock all the time?! -- It is a manometer!!!
