[cobalt-users] Sendmail problem - Message rejected; bad return address.

[johan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there,

I've created a similar setup to yours below.  The domain in question 
is "afriqonline.co.za" ...

I've added only one web server alias, namely afriqonline.co.za - cannot see why 
one should have www.afriqonline.co.za as an alias as well?  

This is what I get when sending e-mail to test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

Any ideas?

Your suggestion:

Ok so mine works - Lets break it down.

1. Domain Name should be       domain.net
2. Host Name should be         www
3. I have three 'A' records in my DNS
    domain.net >>>>>   195.nn.nn.nn
    www.domain.net >>>>  195.nn.nn.nn
    mail.domain.net >>>>   195.nn.nn.nn
4. I have one MX Record
    domain.net   .. email sent high priority to   mail.domain.net
5.  I have set web server aliases as    domain.net,www.domain.net
6.   I have set  email server aliases as    domain.net  ONLY
7.   I have set the email alias for AUSER as    @www.domain.net
