Sorry I should have explained more fully. I'm using a virtual hosting setup
probably best explained if I post 'configure' in full. (passwords/hosts
removed but the rest is there).

##########################
If an email arrives for a virtual domain, a lookup if performed in the MySQL
database to see if an alias exists. This can either be an alias with a local
part or '@', to catch all emails to that domain. If an alias is found the
message is forwarded on.
If no alias exists, as with the particular address I'm having problems with
(lovesmall@???), the message gets frozen.
A little diagnosis:
[root@bravo:~]# sendmail -d2 -bt
Exim version 3.15 debug level 2 uid=0 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: DB 2.4.14: (6/2/98)
Caller is an admin user
Caller is a trusted user
> lovesmall@???
lookuphost router called for lovesmall@???
dns lookup: route_domain = snores.net
LOG: 0 MAIN
lowest numbered MX record points to local host: snores.net (while routing
<lovesmall@???>)
lookuphost router: error for snores.net
message: lowest numbered MX record points to local host
lovesmall@??? cannot be resolved at this time:
lowest numbered MX record points to local host
>
I hope the above will help you to help me look in the right places!
Regards,
Ollie
