Hello,

I have a problem going on with my 'sendmail' client. This happens to be sSMTP
- - actually I don't know if the problem is with sSMTP or with some logger or
daemon trying to use it. It seems to be with sSMTP, though.

I will explain the problem before I go any further. I just noticed in the logs
that periodically, something tries to send something through
'(myhost).adelphia.net'. This is a problem, since there is no such domain.
Now to the reason I think it is sSMTP (a misconfiguration, or something): When
I try to send mail to a local user using 'sendmail', it tries to go through the
host mentioned above.

I am running syslog-ng, with logrotate. A few other things, that create logs,
as well. What makes this worse is that I ran a recursive grep for
'adelphia.net' to see if there was a configuration file I missed - all I got
were email addresses tied to the kernel Documentation, and the email.log and
email.err files.

If you need more information, I'll be happy to provide it. I just want to fix
my system mail so that it doesn't try to send everything through adelphia.net.

Regards,
Chris

It could be, but only you know how ssmtp is configured. What is
in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

Incidentally, why not mention ssmtp in the Subject: it would be a lot
more helpful that what you used and may even increase your chances of a
solution.
