Hi! I am trying to build a sendmail.cf file of my own
(using md4 on FreeBSD). I am having two problems.
One is with .BITNET pseudo-domain. For whatever reason,
it's mail goes to my provider's mail-server, from where
it bounces back. There is not a word about my provider's
machine anywhere in the sendmail.cf...

Another thing is, I can not make it parse mymachine!user
properly -- the _local_ mailer is called with the full
`mymachine!user' instead of just `user', as happens if
the address is in form of user@mymachine. Local mailer
(procmail or mail.local failes, and mail bounces).

Thanks for any hints!
