Hi,

Given that sendmail does not like

sendmail -d -a SENDMAIL.Test -tlistsns@roadrunner.com
-fs-geo@usa.net

it's clear that the - in s-geo is confusing the sendmail command line
parser. Try quoting like

sendmail -d -a SENDMAIL.Test -tlistsns@roadrunner.com
-f"s-geo@usa.net"

I suspect that once you get the command line straightened out, you will
find that sendmail is attempting local delivery for every message you
send.

The local in the following log message tells you this

===== SENDALL: mode b, id XAA000.98, e_from 16906634=os2user:
mailer 4 (local), host `', user `os2user', ruser `'
next=0, flags=5, alias 0, uid 0, gid 0
owner=(none), home="/E:/MPTN/ETC", fullname="(none)"

The reason for this is

SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf):
(short domain name) $w = smtp.roadrunner.com
(canonical domain name) $j = $w
(subdomain name) $m = roadrunner.com
(node name) $k = smtp.roadrunner.com

which says you have told sendmail you are smtp.roadrunner.com. This means
given your ruleset, you are going to get local delivery for anything you
send, which is not what you want.

My log contains

SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf):
(short domain name) $w = localhost.earthlink.net
(canonical domain name) $j = slamain
(subdomain name) $m = earthlink.net
(node name) $k = localhost.earthlink.net

which is not really any better, but I avoided the failure by changing the
ruleset.

It finished if you consider a time out finishing. What did you expect to
happen?

When you try it the way I suggested and you should get somewhat better
results. It should be possible to use just -t, but I recommend getting
send to work first.

Looking at cmdline.txt

getauthinfo: os2user@localhost

happens because these are the defaults you set up. Supply a full from
address on the command line and you will start to get results that look
more like what I got.

You will know things are working when to log ends with something like this

====finis: stat 0 e_flags 10003, e_id=QAA066.64
dropenvelope 11a2bb98: id=QAA066.64, flags=0x1003

===== Dropping [dq]fQAA066.64 =====

This says the queued message was deleted because it was sent out without
errors.

Since I don't have a pristine copy of Bob's sendmail.cf, someone should
send me one. A copy of your test message might be useful too.
