I was doing some e-mail cleanup directly on the Linux server, and realized that none of the comments that were being entered in Blogdom were getting automatically sent to me as they should have been...
All of the comments were being saved on the blog, but the "new comment notification" messages that were supposed to be automatically sent to me were dying on the server.
The messages were showing as delivery failed on the server. The error message I was getting was of the form:
Domain of sender address XXXXXXX@computer.local does not exist
Fortunately, after a few red herrings, Google led me to the correct answer:
Domain of sender address XXXXXXX@computer.local does not exist
Yep, the problem is that other mail servers don't like the Rendevous .local names--and rightly so. This does make for a PITA for those of us using Sendmail.
Try setting the property
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$w.domain.com')
to your domain name in your sendmail.rc file, then remake your sendmail.cf file.
