Why are CNAME not valid for sendmail email from sendmail?
I have domain "blabla.com" which is cnamed to "bla.bla.bla.uk." I sendmail it automatically picking up the correct domain name I want to send email from but once it hits a mail server like google the FQDN displayed is the A type record and not the CNAME.
Has anyone come across this before? Thanks for you help in advance.
