Re: [cobalt-developers] Mail MX loop problems RAQ3 - Try this

["Jon Rosenberg" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this same problem on my Raq3(I have no idea if it is the same for a
Raq/2/4) and tried so many things, but I finally found what the roblem was
thanks to one of the people who actually writes sendmail and was nice enough
to help me out.  Set up your DNS like it says in the Raq manual.

Here is hwat you do

- change directories to: /usr/lib/sendmail-cf
- use pico to edit 'redhat.mc'  (command line type "pico redhat.mc")  make a
backup copy first, though
- there are probably several instances of "divert(0)" in the file, comment
them ALL out, to comment them out, you just place # sign in front of each
one
- at the top of the file, add in a new line, "divert(-1)".  If there are
already some "divert(-1)" somewhere else in the file, comment them out with
a # also, you only want the one at the top of the file.
- save the file (hit ctrl-X and follow prompts)
- reboot the Raq and it should work just fine
