Sendmail Configuration

Ralph Feole — Wed, 13 Oct 2004 10:36:46 GMT

I have configured the sendmail.mc file and the problem I am having is I can send mail outside to the internet no problem but I can not send it to the mail server. It states that it has been sent but it never goes anywhere I am running Linux Advanced Server 2.1

Any help would be appreciated

Good news:

The mail is getting off your server. Its not be rejected. You need to check the /var/log/maillog file on the target server and see whats happening to the mail.

Diagnostic:

sendmail -v -d8 -d38 someone@your.net
type text

.

This will maximize your diagnostic info.

Making sendmail.mc changes doesn't make them happen. You gave to generate databases and sendmail.cf and restart the sendmail service.

This script does this:
