Scott,<br><br>Can I assume that you've ruled out something in <a href="http://sendmail.cf">sendmail.cf</a> (i.e. Dj directive)? Are all the RHEL servers identically configured? Do they all have similar <a href="http://host.osu.edu">host.osu.edu</a> and <a href="http://host.dept.osu.edu">host.dept.osu.edu</a> domains?<br>
<br>It seems to me the question is, why does sendmail think the host domain is <a href="http://host.dept.osu.edu">host.dept.osu.edu</a> rather than <a href="http://host.osu.edu">host.osu.edu</a>. Is that a fair statement?<br>
<br>If so, it seems <a href="http://sendmail.cf">sendmail.cf</a> is one of the few places you haven't mentioned where it could be picking up that domain.<br><br>-Eric<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 1:16 PM, Scott Merrill <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skippy@skippy.net">skippy@skippy.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Let me restate my comment, then:<br>
<br>
installing Postfix just to solve this problem seems like more yak<br>
shaving than I'm interested in right now.<br>
<br>
None of the other Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers in my environment<br>
have exhibited this specific problem. I'm loathe to change the MTA on<br>
this one server to deal with this problem. I'm not going to install<br>
Postfix for all of our machines just because one system is behaving<br>
oddly.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any advice or suggestions _other than_ "install postfix"<br>
(or "install Exim" or "change your MTA") I would like to hear them.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
