I've got sendmail 8.14.3 running on a new ubuntu 8.10 server 
installation.  I just converted over from Fedora and I've found a few 
differences.  I have several domain names but only want to receive mail 
on two of them.  I put the two that I don't want into my access file with a;

To:domain.com	REJECT

but mail comes through anyway.  This worked fine on my Fedora setup so 
there must be some subtle difference with ubuntu that I don't know 
about.  The sendmail.mc files are pretty much the same between systems.

Any ideas where to start looking?  Thanks,

Did you check your mail log file (/var/log/maillog on CentOS, I don't 
know what it is on Ubuntu)? Are these domains in the virtuserdomains 
and/or virtusertable listed as well?

Have you tried

sendmail -bt

And then

/parse anyaddress@domain.com

These are just a few things that come to mind. Without knowing your 
setup and seeing your sendmail.mc and other files, it's tricky to 
troubleshoot this.

Thanks for the response, it triggered off the answer, though I'm not 
sure how.  I had all the domains listed in my /etc/hosts file and the 
envelope would get rewritten before the access database was checked. 
Anyway, taking all the domain names out of /etc/hosts and making sure 
that the valid domains were in /etc/local-host-names fixed it right up.

I hope I don't find that that breaks something else though :-).

Glad to hear you found it. Most likely, your solution is the correct one 
in the first place (depending, of course, on your requirements). The 
domains should never be listed in /etc/hosts; that file actually has 
little to do with sendmail in the first place; it's really only for name 
resolution.
