Sendmail , lotus and messages not arriving
I have a cron job that runs on 2 servers and then uses mailx to send the output.
Server DEV works fine. It runs my script and the emails get delievered to 3 recepients.
Server PRD runs the same script but I am the only one out of 3 who gets the email. ( I am in another domain, the 2 other ppls email addresses are within the same domain as PRD and DEV).
Both systems are relaying to a Lotus Notes email server (as specified in their DS entries in the sendmail.cf file)
And if i do either a mailx or sendmail -v at the command line to their addresses, the emails go through.
So here are the differences i found between PRD and DEVs logs files at the time the messages are sent out.
DEV (working box)

Re: Sendmail , lotus and messages not arriving
Compare the working and non-working servers /etc/resolv.conf files and make sure that top entry is reachable aon the network.
Also make sure nsswitch.conf is the same.
Other tools:
mailq
display mail queue
sendmail -v -q
will attempt to process the mail queue in verbose mode.
sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99
type text
.
should display similar errors. If mail is getting off the box, look at the relay config on the lotus box.

Re: Sendmail , lotus and messages not arriving
DEV (which works), does not have a resolv.conf file and nsswitch.conf file shows
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return] dns
however, PRD (which doesnt work) DOES have a resolv.conf
domain domain.com
nameserver 32.69.xx.xx
nameserver 32.69.xx.xx
and nsswitch.conf shows;
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return] dns

Re: Sendmail , lotus and messages not arriving
I would suggest a single DNS server, perhaps a firewall and you switch to DNS name resolution. sendmail likes DNS setups better. That's my experience.
You can use any unix/linux/windows box to resolve internal network names.
the file to edit is /etc/nsswitch.conf
Once you do that, your setup changes. Certain products like Omniback/Data Protector will require reconfiguration after the switch.
You should try my diagnostics and post the results. They could help someone figure out what happened and save you the time of a DNS switchover.
