This is outside of your current problem but you really should think about keeping current. Using Sendmail is probably okay but IMNHO there are better choices. Would you entertain using a different MTA? If you want a full internet site mailer then I recommend that you install and use either Postfix or Exim. I personally prefer Postfix. But in either case you could simply install and it would solve your problem. apt-get install postfix Answer the debconf questions for an internet site and then you are set. No other configuration is needed. > How can I tell /usr/lib/sendmail to do an MX lookup on bar.com and > connect to that server, instead of connecting to localhost? That question makes me wonder if you really have sendmail installed. This is pedantic but please double check. dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail Because the behavior reads to me like a different mta program. If you are simply wanting to forward all of your mail to a mail relay where it will handle the task then I recommend nullmailer. apt-get install nullmailer If you are not interested in anything but Sendmail then please pardon the suggestions otherwise.
