There is also no A record for home.com. It's going to bounce any way you try it. Comment the: FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl in sendmail.mc and you won't accept email with bad reply addresses.
Yes I know I have no hope of ever sending email to that address. The problem is really my wife's perception. It looks like the problem is on my server end when I know it is not.
The FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl is commented out. My wife received this message because it actually came via a email list which was forwarded from an outside Email server. Since that server accepted the message then my server did too and has to or my wife will shoot me. I would much prefer to see this bounce message which I get from the other email server I run:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- jdavidson4@home.com
----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.2 jdavidson4@home.com... Host unknown (Name server: home.com: no data known)
Because then it is obvious where the problem lies even to my wife. I have unwittingly set something on my nurdog.com server and have no clue what.
