I have a Red Hat 9 server running sendmail. On it is running an app that periodically sends reminder emails to clients.

Everything runs fine except when the client happens to have an email address with my domain.

If I do a "hostname" lookup on my server I get "mydomain.com". If the email app attempts to send an email to user@mydomain.com, it never gets sent out. sendmail keeps it local and the only way for the user to see their mail is to sign onto my server (which is not possible).

I really need the email to be sent out to my POP provider which is on a different physical server on a different physical network.

Any thoughts?
