delivery problems

[awol1234]

Im having trouble getting a slackware 9.0 webserver sending emails using sendmail 8.12.9. The below errors occur in /var/log/maillog if i try to send an email from the command line via sendmail.

Say for example the machines FQD is server01.host.company.net, it seems that sendmail is trying to relay everything via .host.company.net, or in other words, everything after server01 in the FQD.

Check your DNS setup on the mail server.
Make sure the domain you need to relay for is properly set up in the access file. Also in local-host-names if FEATURE(use_cw_file) is present in the sendmail.mc as this sets CLASS w.
