problem receiving mail from Microsoft Exchange 2000

Burhan Koni — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 05:17:21 GMT

Dear All
I have HP-UX 11i. I configured sendmail to send to Microsoft Exchange 2000 server located on the same subnet by adding DS to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf . I could send successfully from the HP server domain (Fin02.ora), but could not receive from exchage server although a connector is defined on the exchange server to send to Fin02.ora domain.
Do I have to do other configurations ??

Thanks
Burhan

Hope you have to troubleshoot much on this.

Can you send a mail on HP-UX using this coomand so, it will give you where exactly it is delivering.

/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someuser@mydomain.com

Also, Check you sendmail maillog log file for which IP addresses it sent the mail to.

Also, Check the connectivity with your windows server.

In my experience, Most of the problems with sendmail, will be with DNS issues. Check it out!

Hope this helps

Vijay

I am sorry, I missed troubleshooting part on windows side.

can you check whether you are able to connect to Sendmail server

telnet 25

This command will show you what SEndmail Version running in that host also with a prompt.

If you have this port opened, you can start sending mail from Windows machines.

Also,

The /etc/mail/access can be created to accept or reject mail from selected domains.

Check this file too.

-Thanks
