Subject: sendmail / multiple domains question
When I do 'dig' on mail.2nddomain.com, www.2nddomain.com it works, but it
dowsn't work when I do 2nddomain.com.

Same case for the mail.1stdomain.com, www.1stdomain.com, but not for
1stdomain.com.

So, my take is DNS is set properly. But could be that my sendmail is not
using the DNS. How do I make sure, my sendmail is using my DNS.
