Thanks. I tried your suggestion, adding localhost and

neither sendmail -bt -d0 < /dev/null nor mail to

ID is localhost.localdomain.

Masquarade_as is applied only to things where the From: address
is configured to be accepted as local. Do you have the domains
that aren't being rewritten in /etc/mail/local-hostnames? (You
have to restart sendmail after a change on that file).

Have you tried setting your hostname, e.g. 'hostname
ini-wf.indystar.com' (as root...) ? I'm about to
try and configure my sendmail to actually work for mail, but i haven't
really played with it much yet. I do notice, though,
that even though I've never touched the factory defaults, it at least
got the hostname right, even though all I've really done
that should have affected it was to set the hostname. One other thing
I've noticed is that it apparently defaults to only
listening on the localhost interface (127.0.0.1) and not the network
interface, so I'll need to twiddle with that right off. In
general, I would not recommend aliasing 127.0.0.1 to anything besides
localhost, all sorts of silliness could result. Also,
are you plugged right in to a DHCP with your network? It's a
superstitious holdover from my Sun, but I'd say as a general
thing, *nix-ish systems simply don't like to be on a variable IP
address. I have my home set up with a firewall router to the DSL
modem, and run a fixed subnet in 10-land, the Sun and Linux systems at
fixed addrs, and the Windoze systems use the
DHCP portion of the subnet.
