- I'm trying to run sendmail 5.65 on a Sun 3, 4.1.1_U1 machine whose hostname
- is coral.kpno.noao.edu. The nameservers for noao.edu, however, treat the
- machine at that IP address as 'coral.tuc.noao.edu', and at least for now
- there's nothing I can do about that. But when I try to send mail to
- 'user@coral', or 'user@coral.kpno.noao.edu', I get the following error:
-
- >>> HELO coral.tuc.noao.edu
- <<< 553 Local configuration error, hostname not recognized as local
-
- (which isn't surprising). Now is there a way to tell sendmail to recognize
- coral.tuc.noao.edu as a valid local hostname, as well as the 'real' hostname
- coral.kpno.noao.edu? I tried adding a
-
- Cwcoral.kpno.noao.edu coral.tuc.noao.edu
-
- line to the sendmail.cf file (which is basically the tcpproto.cf from the
- sendmail 5.65 distribution), but that didn't help.
