Hi,
I installed Fedora core 3 server, Sendmail, Dovecat, webmail and have my domain name on my home's machine.

Every time I sent email without got "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" from where I sent (gmail or hotmail) them.

I can send email and receive to my email server with myname@ address.
How could I set up sendmail that receives myname@mydomain.ca address without www.
 
When you set up dns, you had to create two records for it an "A" (address) record that gave you server a name (just like for your website) and pointed it to an ip address. Then you created an "MX" (Mail eXchange) record that assigned a mail server to a domain. My question is, what is the name of your server? Generally, you give it a sub-doamin name like mail.mydomain.com and it is the primary mail server for mydomain.com. Check to see if you used either the server name or domain that it handles mail for.
 
Thanks for your response,
My friend has a DNS server which runs for his company and he also set up my domain in his DNS server. I will tell him to set up what you wrote.
Thanks,
Massoud
