Not to be argumentative, but on my system (FC3, i386) which was "box
stock" wrt sendmail configuration, here's what I see:
[root@aria jamoore]# cat /var/run/sendmail.pid
3367
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
IINM, the "-bd" says: sendmail is running as a "listener" (an actual
mail server). Two thoughts come into my mind:
1) As a default configuration, why does FC* start sendmail w/ "-bd"?
2) Running as a listener (-bd), sendmail does not use submit.mc
As an aside: I did not change sendmail startup to use "-bd". So, how
does sendmail get started on FC*? Let's see...
[root@aria jamoore]# cd /etc
[root@aria etc]# grep -r 'sendmail -bd -q1h' *
<snip some garbage>
httpd/run/sendmail.pid:/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
WTFO??? Where/how does sendmail get started?
Bottom Line: Having found this trove of knowledge, I *think* my best
course of action is to fix (right after I find it) the sendmail startup
to remove the "-bd" option, then start hacking submit.mc to fix my
original problem.

I'll be glad to post that if I can't do the deed

I don't think it makes any difference to the receiving mail server
whether or not aria.cullmail.com is an Internet-DNS-resolvable host...
in any case, the connection will go through my firewall, and appear to
come from that host.
Analysis or comments are welcome!
