Help,

I've racked my brains.

The situation:

I wish to have mail for a particular FreeBSD 2.1.0 machine AA.AA.AA.AA and a 
certain domain
to get spooled on a separate machine than my main user box. In the DNS 
entries i have

[cut]		IN	A	AA.AA.AA.AA
		IN	MX	10 AA.AA.AA.AA

for the particular machine.

and

@SOA [cut]

domain		IN 	A	BB.BB.BB.BB
		IN	MX	10 AA.AA.AA.AA

etc. etc.

I'm using sendmail on the second mailmachine and am having a devil of a time.

I'm using and sendmail.cw and hashed lookup file for resolving the second
domain name throught the addresses.

I have all this working great on a BSDI 2.0 box.

I've built upon tcpproto.mc  with the
 OSTYPE(bsd4.4)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
Fw/etc/sendmail.cw
Kwmaildomain hash /etc/maildomain.db (or whatever this is from memory)

LOCAL_RULE_0

with some rules that work on my main box.

I've also tried using the working .mc file from my working box but.

THE RESULT:

Sending mail locally to both the FQDN and and the aliased domain no problems.

But sending to either from another box gives the below bounce.
