Bounced Mail :(

[Mathias Körber]

Hi alex,

You are pointing an MX record at a record which
itself is a CNAME. that is a nono. Make sirius
an A record with the correct IP address.

If that does not cure it, I can think of the following
other sources:

a) Did you SIGHUP the sendmail daemon after adding www00.com to
sendmail.cw?
b) did you use the correct sendmail.cw file (check your PATHs)
c) is your sendmail.cf set up to use sendmail.cw? (some Linux
distros seem to have it off by default)

regards
