Sendmail problem

Shane Reutzel — Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:19:28 GMT

We cloned a server using make_recovery. The old server name was "A" and the new server is "B". After cloning, when ever mail is sent from server "B" the recepiant message show that it is still from server "A". Does anybody know where I need to make the change to correct this?

Hi Shane:

Have a look at your /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file.

Hi,

You need to configure /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

Check for Cw flag where you find "localhost"

Also look for /wtc/mail/sendmail.cw has the local hostname .

One more thing you might want to check is /etc/hosts file has proper entries.

Restart the sendmail once you made the changes

Goodluck

Hi,

as far as i remember this has to do with your /etc/mail/sendmail.cw. Check this file if there is the wrong/old servername configured there.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan

Somehow i'm to slow for this forum :-(

How do you other's do this. Everytime i try to give an answer it takes some minutes to complete it. Mostly because somebody is on the Phone or comes to me for some questions and so on.

And everytime i finally finish my answer and post it somebody was faster.

Don't you others have to work? Do you post to the forum in your spare time?

Or does it just take so long for the forum messages to reach me in Germany?

Just wondering, don't take it serious.

Regards Stefan

The sendmail.cf and sendmail.cw are both correctly set. This is what the recepient sees who it is from:

Server "A" System Administrator [sreutzel@ServerB]

I want to read "Server "B" System Administrator [sreutzel@ServerB]
