hello é


The host name of the server is lsi4.

Am i missing something completely obvious like an entry in the hosts file?????

 
Somewhere along the line you need to tell lsi4.sunterra.com to accept incoming mail for sunterra.com.

Sorry, it's a few years since hacking around inside sendmail & I didn't really understand it then, so not really much help.

You've probably done it already, but can I suggest as a source. Ian
