Hi Thanks for the reply. The thing is that even if they are in the To or CC, whoever sent us the mail they should be the one's delivering it to foo.com, not us. We weren't the initial senders of the mail, we were the receivers so sendmail should not look up there DNS enteries. Any ideas on that or am I missing something obvious from your reply.
