I set my sendmail.mc file to have a SMART_HOST entry of mail.xyz.com I do "make" and "service sendmail restart" ... I should be good, but no. :)
however when I do a test mail - its trying to RELAY to another host.
I thought SMART_HOST was the only one it would try to relay to? yes there is only one SMART_HOST in my file, and sendmail.cf shows the correct name.
By which you mean that sendmail.cf contains the line:
DSrelay:mail.xyz.com ?
SMART_HOST will relay mail to destinations for which it doesn't have explicit routing information.
Do you also have a mailertable defined which might include the recipient domain, for example?
How do I tell what is happening here? the maillog only shows it trying to relay to the wrong host, not the one I entered.
Try "sendmail -d60.5 -bv [user@example.com]" to see what might be going on with local address parsing.
