I added a MX record to my DNS, then used the -f flag for Sendmail and used my e-mail address there. &nbsp;It worked like a charm.<br />

Thank you for the information, and the answer!<br />

I am using PHP to send e-mail through Sendmail. &nbsp;Specifically, I am using the mail( ) function. &nbsp;I have been using this function for years on a web host, but now I am trying to use my own server. &nbsp;(Slackware Linux 7).<br />
<br />
When I send a message, it is not delivered, and I get a message in my root mailbox stating, among other things, the following error:<br />
<br />
&quot;&nbsp; ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----<br />

Do I have to set something up in order to send mail from my Linux box? &nbsp;For instance, do I have to set up an SMTP server? &nbsp;If so, how do I do that? &nbsp;I'll give 300 points for anyone who can help me out! &nbsp;(If you live close, I'll even buy you a pizza!)

Domain of Sender Address Does Not Exist...

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
