Hello,

I jsut realized a problem our server is experiencing and can not find
answers anywhere. Basically the 'latest' additions to our local-host-names
are being 'ignored' or so it seems and we are bouncing e-mail to them with
relaying denied. Here is a break down of what I have checked for a sample
domain:

1 - Entry in local-host-names
deathstar: {115} % grep upnorthrealestate /etc/mail/local-host-names
upnorthrealestate.com
deathstar: {116} %

2 - sendmail.cf uses local-host-names
deathstar: {117} % grep ^Fw /etc/sendmail.cf
Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names
deathstar: {118} %

3 - DNS
deathstar: {120} % dig mx upnorthrealestate.com +short
10 mailhost.ez-net.com.
deathstar: {121} %


4 - Restarted sendmail about 850 times to make sure I didnt' forget

After checking the above I still get the error messages as follows:
deathstar: {122} % grep g62GeDg04211 /var/log/maillog
Jul 2 11:40:13 deathstar sendmail[4211]: g62GeDg04211: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<ca...@upnorthrealestate.com>, relay=f117.law15.hotmail.com
[64.4.23.117], reject=550 5.7.1 <ca...@upnorthrealestate.com>... Relaying
denied
Jul 2 11:40:13 deathstar sendmail[4211]: g62GeDg04211:
from=<ezrel...@hotmail.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=Daemon0, relay=f117.law15.hotmail.com [64.4.23.117]

I also checked sendmail to verify it is picking up the local-host-names:
deathstar: {137} % echo '$=w' | sendmail -bt | grep upnorthrealestate.com
upnorthrealestate.com
deathstar: {138} %

I am completely stumped as to what I could have screwed up, any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Here is some output from sendmail -bt -d21.4. I only included the last part
of the output, if need be I can paste the entire thing.

Well it appears I have proved what a complete moron I am, there was two
processes of sendmail running some how, I was killing one of them and simply
restarting it again. Of course the 'real' one kept running quite like it
should, and thus never reloaded the configs. Thanks to anyone that even
read this post, I am going to cry now.
