Configuring relay mailer

susee_sundar — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 01:08:00 GMT

Hi Team.,

I want to configure my server to send mails using relaymail service.

I got the details from the IT team as follows.,

use relaymail.company.com on port 25 as smart host.

But how can I enable this service, which file I need to edit and what modification I need to do to send the mails from my server...

Expexcting help from the team...

Shalom,

vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf or wherever sendmail.cf is kept.

change

DS

DShostnameofrelayserver

or

DS
[ip address of relay server]

example

DS
[192.168.0.10]

IMPORTANTE!
The relay server must be explicitly configured to permit relay from your host or ip address, if not, all of this will be for naught.

Diags:
mail1
sendmail -v -q

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone @your.net

type some text

.

Great diagnostics.

Edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file to:
A couple of other things to check:

Set the Dj$ variable to the server's domain name.

Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to specify how to do DNS resolution. Note that if you want to use a DNS server you'll need to update the /etc/resolv.conf file with the IP address(es) of the DNS server for your domain.

If running, stop and start the Sendmail daemon.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
