Goofy email headers

[timgerr]

I am new to send mail and I have installed it on a Debian box for a game server that I have. We use PHPNuke and that software needs (or likes) send mail do I created a local sendmail server. I was able to get the address to say admin@clan-sef.com but Comcast will not pass the email on. I have the headers of the email and the address still is @localhost.localhost. How can I get Sendmail to show the headers correctly?

Here is the headers

Received: from localhost.localdomain ([206.222.12.10])

        by smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (Merak 8.0.3) with ESMTP (SSL) id MCF22197

Again I am new with SendMail and if you look at the headers you will see that sendmail is not setup correctly. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks

In your /etc/mail directory make sure you have set-up

local-host-names

clan-sef.com

domaintable

clan-sef.com	[i]<your-servers-hostname>[/i]

It's used to provide domain name mapping (domain re-writing) . Read this for more info..

First, create the domaintable file with the contents of

clan-sef.com    [i]<your-servers-hostname>[/i]

Second, add this line to your sendmail.mc

FEATURE(`domaintable', `hash MAIL_SETTINGS_DIR/domaintable.db')dnl

And finally create the necessary DBM files for Sendmail

makemap hash /etc/mail/domaintable < /etc/mail/domaintable
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Add the FEATURE() before the MAILER() in your sendmail.mc
