Found the problem - was RE: [Mimedefang] OT - Cant figure out why this is being rejected

[Cormack, Ken]

I had the following sendmail LOCAL_RULESET.  I just need to add an access
check to it.  When turned off this rule, the domain literal worked fine...

dnl # Check HTo: to verify user or alias exists
dnl # What about BCC? Also, what about mailer tabled domains?
dnl # Must not be blank
dnl # Allow To: username only from localhost (for emailed log files)
dnl HTo:                $>CheckTo
dnl
dnl SCheckTo
dnl R$* ( $* ) $*       $: $1
dnl R$* < $* > $*       $: $2
dnl R$*         $: <$1>
dnl R<$+ @ $+ . $->     $: $1@$2.$3
dnl R<$+>               $: <$1> <$&{client_name}>
dnl R<$+> < localhost > $@ OK
dnl #R<$+> <$+> $: <$1> <$2 . $m>
dnl #R<$+> < $j >       $@ OK
dnl R<$+> <$*>  $: <$1>
dnl R<$+>               $#error $: "553 Delivery blocked; HTo: specified an
invalid address"
dnl R<$@>               $#error $: "553 Delivery blocked; HTo: specified a
null address"

Sendmail knows itself as follows, on my box...

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
      (short domain name) $w = mail01

As you can see, it properly knows it's own short-name.  I defind class w in
the file "Fw /etc/mail/local-host-names".  In that file, I already have the
IP address listed.  This is driving me nuts!  Everywhere that I'm supposed
to have the IP listed, it's listed.  But keep the suggestions coming!
Doubtless, we'll find it!  LOL

Is [98.83.130.15] a local host? To check:
	/usr/lib/sendmail -bt
	$=w

If you don't see it there, that's your problem!

How to fix it? Could be complicated -- depending upon your system's network
configuration. If you still have questions, contact me off-list and include
the results of your $=w and an ifconfig -a on that box.
