[Mimedefang] OT - Cant figure out why this is being rejected

[Cormack, Ken]

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.
