Hi.

If you're new to mail servers, I would urge you to move well away from sendmail. Both postfix and netqmail are far better alternatives for someone trying to build a new mail server and without previous knowledge on mail servers. Personally, I use postfix and think it behaves well and has a sane configuration. Two of it's immediate advantages are a sane config done through simple text files and safe default values.
Anyway, your problem is likely caused by a mail loop. Make sure you have a correct MX host set on your DNS zone and that you're configuring sendmail to receive mail addressed to all the interfaces. Also make sure you don't have a mistake in your /etc/[mail/]aliases file.

if you think on /etc/resolve.conf

i put nameserver1 & 2 my dns ip and that is ok and i look alias and seems to me that is ok ! But i think that is problem becouse i cant found sendmail M4 and its not set it up on webmin and cant found tham !
I think that i emerge tham with emerge -av m4 but its not that :oops: but i lear that is program and i made configure sendmail.mc and do this
Code:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
i found on this forum that guide and its not helped me ! I-m stuck with this sendmail ! Its work only for my domain but for others not :( I need this for send mails in priority but also need to recive !
If you suggest me postfix and other mail please if you have some simple configuration links i found it for postfix tons of settings and its with courier and dovecot but i try !

Thanks for replay ! please be here to help me if i stuck with postfix !
