Hi,

Here is how I do it.

In the /etc/sendmail.cf file, locate the line that says:

  Cwlocalhost

Below it, add the following line:

  Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw

Now, create a file called /etc/sendmail.cw  In that file, add the fully
qualified host name.  In your case, I believe the following should do it.

  paige.est.org

You will need to kill and restart sendmail, but that should do it. Then,
if you MX mail for any other hosts you yours, just add another line to the
/etc/sendmail.cw file.
