I have a sendmail question.

Can someone point me to a list appropriate to get some sendmail.mc help?
----
try here first

My fax server (fax.foo.com) is suppose to receive mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and execute:

/usr/bin/faxmail -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found the following items to add to sendmail.mc:

  define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/faxmail')dnl
  define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12pt [EMAIL PROTECTED] $f')dnl
  MAILER(`fax')dnl


I have set up DNS with a pseudo domain:

sip.foo.com.    IN      A       192.168.1.100
fax.foo.com.    IN      A       192.168.1.100
*.fax.foo.com.   IN   MX   10   fax.foo.com



nslookup shows this to work, and in fact my POP mail server does try to send mail addessed:

to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To fax.foo.com, that gets sent back to me with the error information:


  ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 5.0.0 MX list for 222.fax.foo.com. points back to sip.foo.com
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error

sendmail is NOT suppose to try to relay; it is suppose to accept this for local delivery, and not do a DNS lookup on 222.fax.foo.com....

So obviously I need more sendmail help. Then I will have to set it up via webmin....


It is interesting that when you ask this question directly on the Hylafax mail list, either no one answers, or point you to URLs that give partial answers.


I know that DNS can act strange with 2 A records to the same address.  That is 
what CNAME is suppose to be for.  Now that I see that I am not expecting email 
to sip.foo.com, I could make that the cname.  Of course the host name is 
sip.foo.com with fax a service on it....
