I tried this, domain2.com isn't mentioned in here anywhere. I tried the
internal and external addresses of domain2.com just for the hell of it, and
no result.
Are things like this normally stored in a file that follows this format:
127.0.0.1   RELAY
(Called access(.db) in my case (Sendmail Version 8.9.3+3.2W).)

That it's using local as the relay, rather than domain2.com's MX.

Since it doesn't look like anyone has told sendmail to handle domain2.com's
mail, I'll take a shot in the dark. Is it possible that this might be the
result of a poorly configured nameserver? I'm on shaky ground here
knowledge-wise, but I've checked the internal and external records for
domain2, and the numbers are fine, host resolves the MX for domain2 fine
from domain1. I've got a vague feeling that it might be appending something
to an unqualified (not ending in a . ?) domain.
Out of curiosity... what are the "CP." and "CPREDIRECT" ?variables? in
sendmail.cf? Looks like I'll be needing an Sendmail book.
Thanks for the assistance, I managed to learn a couple more things from this
situation. Not enough apparently, but... :)
