boomer_2 — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 04:30:41 GMT

Hi guys,
I have to configure sendmail to send mails from my HPrx4640 11i v2 server to my outlook box..

root #/etc/mail >ps -ef|grep send
root 6796 1 0 13:56:44 ? 0:12 sendmail: accepting connections

root #/etc/rc.config.d >cat mailservs
#########################################
# Mail configuration. See sendmail(1m) #
# @(#)B11.23_LR mailservs version 8.11
#########################################

#
# SENDMAIL_SERVER: Set to 1 if this is a mail server and should
# run the sendmail deamon.
# SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME: If this is not a mail server, but a client being
# served by another system, then set this variable
# to the name of the mail server system name so that
# site hiding can be performed.
# SENDMAIL_RECVONLY: If set to 1, then sendmail perform "receive only"
# function. In other words, users are not allowed
# to send mail from this domain or process the mail
# queue.
# SENDMAIL_SENDONLY: If set to 1, then sendmail perform "send only"
# function. In other words, users are not allowed
# to receive mails in this domain.
#
#
# The priority(from high to low) set for the above mentioned flags
# are in the order SENDMAIL_SERVER, SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME,
# SENDMAIL_RECVONLY, SENDMAIL_SENDONLY.
#
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
export SENDMAIL_RECVONLY=0
export SENDMAIL_SENDONLY=0

One problem is that your /etc/mail/aliases file has execute permissions which Sendmail does not like. In our environment (pure development) we set the perms to 640.

Also, check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file to ensure that you're using the DNS method (dns or files) you require and in the correct order.

Finally, it looks like these entries:

domain=cedge.in
Name=smtp.cedge.in

are from your /etc/resolv.conf file. The domain entry looks OK assuming your domain is sedge.in. It looks like you need to add a nameserver entry like:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your DNS server.

Shalom,

For simply relay just use the DS directive in sendmail.cf

DSrelayhostname

or

DS
[192.168.0.10]

There the ip address is the ip address of the relay box.

Note: you will need to explicitly permit relay as it is denied by default on "outlook" boxes. I'll assume you mean exchange server.

root 6796 1 0 13:56:44 ? 0:12 sendmail: accepting connections

That permits inbound mail, does nothing about getting mail off the box without further configuration.

As Steven says, set the DS macro in sendmail.cf.

Also, I would set the DM macro as well to your company domain name:

DSyourexchangeserver

DMyourdomain.com
