Sendmail Configuration

Michael Ernstoff — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 08:49:22 GMT

I have upgraded sendmail on an HP-UX 11.11 server from version 8.9.3.1 to version 8.13.3

Before there was just one cf file (sendmail.cf) and now there are two cf files (sendmail.cf and submit.cf).
I have a "smart" smtp server which I want to use for all mail sent to non-local addresses except for a specified list of domains.
At the moment all mail sent to non-local domains is going to the smart smtp server, including those in the specified domains.
I have set up /etc/mail/mailertable with the specified domains.
As a complete sendmail newbie, can anyone point me in the right direction on how to sort this out.

Thanks in advance, points will be given.

sendmail.cf for the daemon and submit.cf is used for the submission program.

Check out http://www.sendmail.org

Myself, I've only ever changed the sendmail.cf - not submit.

More infor on submit on this page:

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/op-sh-1.html

and if you have the source, in cf/README file.

I have all the documentation and an O'Reilly sendmail book of 1000+ pages, but for a newbie it is hard to know where to start.
