[NTLUG:Discuss] Sendmail problem

[Newsletters]

Just a couple of suggestions off the top of my head (I'm not a sendmail 
expert though).

Assuming you are running sendmail on your laptop, Have you added your 
user's name on the laptop to the /etc/mail/alias (or wherever your alias 
is) file?  And then you ran newaliases on your alias file?  Also, I had 
to add my user names to the virtusertable (and use makemap to make 
virtusertable) so that sendmail understood that mail sent to 
me at domain.com was to really go to username me (This is what I had to do 
to make the mail work on my webserver).

These are just some ideas I could think of...I hope I haven't insulted.
