Here is a sample message I get from my own mailer daemon:

Does SMTP work?

EoF...

The only thing I changed in sendmail.cf is the following:

##################
# local info #
##################

Cwlocalhost
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

CP. mail.majuki.com

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS majuki.com

------------------------

I can send mail locally using username@bigred.majuki.com, but
username@mail.majuki.com or username@majuki.com do not work. I have
DNS configured correctly with the mail exchanger records in place. I
remember having problems with this before, and it came down to that
section of the sendmail.cf file. TIA.
