incorrect domain in from line

Hi,

The problem is that all outgoing email have incomplete domain name in "from"
line. Instead of user@mydomain.net, the address is: user@mydomain
Some receipients mail servers reject the mail from invalid domain, some adds
their own domain to the addres and present receipients with something like:
user@mydomain.receipientdomain.com
I get lost, please help!

Regards
Jacek

Seems like you have set the domain name to just to mydomain instead for
mydomain.net in your /etc/domainname.

thank, but it is not that. check-hostname returns correct, fully qualified
domain name.

Could you post results produced by test given below:
1) "this hostname" used by sendmail.cf
echo '$j' | sendmail -bt -Am
[ expected: mydomain.net ]
2) "this hostname" used by submit.cf
echo '$j' | sendmail -bt -Ac
[ expected: mydomain.net ]
3) "Masquerade as" defined in sendmail.cf
echo '$M' | sendmail -bt -Am
[ expected: Undefined ]

-A is not recognized parameter on my sendmail (8.11.7 on Solaris 8)
The result of echo '$j' | sendmail -bt is:
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter

I have (silently) assumed you use sendmail-8.12+

Well - seems to be OK:
final returns: user @ mydomain . net
Rcode = 0, addr = user@mydomain.net

Now I am really twisted :>

Try the test below (it will produce a lot of output):

(echo to: x@example.com; echo) | sendmail -Am -t -d21.12 > trace-file

[Your pre 8.12 sendmail does not require -Am, I included it only for
"future readers"]

This time the rules produce:
1. my user name only (without domain)
2. correct receipient address: x@example.com

What part of the file may be useful for further analisis?
