Sry for a OT sendmail question
In my mail queue I have a bunch of email w/ the domain
c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com and the status is "Deferred: Connection timed out
with c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com."
Each of the email the user mistypes the domain so that it is not a
resolving domain name. Sendmail replaces the invalid domain with a
cnet address. ex thutrang(a)c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com.
The confusion comes when the user gets the email bounced back after 5
days w/ the domain replaced w/ the cnet one. Then they complain to
me.
It's probably because they've mistyped the email as <
something>.com.com
[sam@samlap ~]$ host
fruckaiomowenuerc.com.com
fruckaiomowenuerc.com.com is an alias for
c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com.
c18-ss-1-lb.cnet.com has address 216.239.122.33
CNET owns .com.com and they have a wildcard DNS record, so you need to
complain to them...
