SMTP Relay problem

Stojcevski Dejan — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 07:31:39 GMT

Hi to all,
I have rp2400 with HP-UX 11i and i can not sent mails from this machine to outside world.
I did change DS makro in sendmail.cf file to point to our Exchange server but still mails are deffered. I have attached mailq -v output and /var/adm/syslog/mail.log in the file.
I have other machines as well and it worked just by changing DS in sendmail.cf file - nothing else.
Sendmail version is: Sendmail 8.9.3 (PHNE_29774)/8.9.3
Any ideas?

Hi,

Sounds like a DNS name resolution issue. What namesevers (/etc/resolv.conf) are you using? and whats in your /etc/hosts file?

I have found the reason of the problem: there was no /etc/nsswitch.conf file in the system. So I just copyed the nsswitch.files file to nsswitch.conf and everything worked with no restart.
Once again I was quicker hitting the forums then find the solution by myself :-).
Thanks again.
