Hello,
I've defined SMART_HOST to be a specific server, lets call it foo.bar.com. However, when I send a test mail using 'sendmail -t', sendmail tries to use mx.bar.com, which subsequently rejects my mail. I've verified that foo.bar.com works and that mx.bar.com does not work (yay telnet). I've recompiled sendmail.mc vi make, make -C and m4. I've verified the DS entry in sendmail.cf. I've restarted sendmail correctly. I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. Any ideas?
Here is my SMART_HOST line:
define(SMART_HOST',foo.bar.com')dnl
...and here is the result of a test mail. It never tries to use foo.bar.com, instead it uses mx.bar.com.
$ echo subject: test; echo | sendmail -Am -v -flocaluser --

And last, here is a test mail sent using foo.bar.com:
