sendmail does not like one user

[Opesh Alkara]

it's strange

Given both users are OS users....while one can deliver but other cannot...is
hard to believe...

here is what all I can suggest....

take the primary MX record of not.my.server.com

#dig not.my.server.com mx

login to userB

#su - userB

telnet to port 25 of MX of not.my.server.com

#telnet <MX record of not.my.server.com> 25

repeat it with userA

if you are able to telnet....in either case...you should be able to deliver
mails also...
If you are not....the mails will be deffered....(possible need to look into
firewall configs...)

Just...out of curiosity...how you made sure...userA can send while userB
cannot at the same time from the same server?

Also...If i am not mistaken..your hostname is "localhost"....this could
confuse a sendmail MTA delivering another to sendmail MTA....as every server
has an alias set as localhost, resolving to 127.0.0.1....just an idea....
