> Editing the .cf file is not the way to do this sort of thing. Ensure you have the sendmail-cf package installed and make your changes to the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and then type 'make' to build the new .cf. Then restart sendmail.

I changed all the above to my X.com domain removed the dnl's on the line
did a make in the /etc/mail directory, did service sendmail restart
and I still get m.X.com and not just X.com

What am I still missing something? Thanks,

Jerry
