Your problem is that u misundestood a purpose of MX record in DNS file .. If u want that all your mail will be sent to @my.net.work u need to change slightly your sendmail.cf in @mymachine.my.net.work It's located in /etc . Find a string with DM and write following : DMmy.net.work Also u need to find change a string Cw in sendmail.cf at mail.ser.ver : Cwlocalhost my.net.work I hope it'll work ... With best regards, Mike
