OK, this is officially driving me crazy now, even though I wouldn't at 
all be surprised if its pilot error.

All I want is for sendmail on my dragonfly box to do is be a secondary 
for two domains.  That's it.  If anyone has this working on CURRENT, 
please tell me how you did it.

What drives me nuts is that the Sendmail config steps I used on FreeBSD 
4.10 & 4.11 on the same box worked fine for a secondary.  However, I 
just can't get it to work on DF.  I've tried nuking /etc/mail and 
starting fresh.  I've tried sendmail from ports.  For whatever reason, I 
just can't get the !$%R% thing to relay.

No

Nuked /etc/mail, ran mergemaster, and dropped all my normal sendmail 
changes (dnsbls) and just tried relay-domains.  Nada.

I've ruled out mail application by telneting directly to port 25 on the 
server and doing the commands (helo, mail from:, rcpt to:, data, ., 
quit) manually.  It accepts the mail just fine - and delivers it 
locally, never noticing that its a secondary MX.

Well, I *was* attached to sendmail. <laugh>  It irks me when things that 
worked two days ago don't work now, and I can't figure out why.

There has to be something I'm missing.
