Go to the /etc/rc.config.d directory and check the mailservs file configuration, please see:

Hi,

Add a record to /etc/hosts reflecting the exchange servers IP address and name.
10.10.1.36

- Update a record in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to include the Exchange servers name, in the file search for the following line then add your Exchange server name after DS.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

- Restart sendmail:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

- If you already haven't, you may need to configure your DNS so when you send to outside addresses it can resolve the name. Thats just a matter of adding your DNS server to /etc/hosts and adding a record to /etc/resolv.conf.

For checking :

sendmail -d8.99 -d38.99 abc@yahoo.com
