Sendmail not sending emails to outlook
This morning I configured sendmail on a test server. When I send a test email out using mailx, it appears to leave my HP server successfully (the mailq is empty) but it never makes it to my outlook in box on my PC.
Is there some way I can trace where this email is going and see where it is getting hung up?
Thanks in advance!
Pam

Re: Sendmail not sending emails to outlook
Hi Pamela:
First, you may want to edit your post and remove your email address from it before you find unwanted use of it ;-)
Your configuration must have a "smart relay" specification. Modify 'etc/mail/sendmail.cf' to specify a "smart relay" to allow the forwarding of mail.
By default the 'DS' macro is empty. Change it to look something like:
DSmsexchange.xyz.com
Now, stop and restart 'sendmail':
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start
To test everything, do:
# mailx -s "Test Message" pamela@xyz.com < /dev/null
You should find the message in your MS (Outlook) mailbox.
Regards!
...JRF...

Re: Sendmail not sending emails to outlook
In addition to what James R. Ferguson said above, some configuration on the Exchange part is also necessary. If your Exchange server does not accept mails for relaying from any IP address, you must add the sender server's IP address to the list of allowed IPs.
