Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
I know I'm asking a question that has been asked many times before but the solutions that have been posted do not fix my particular problem. Basiclly, on a new HP-UX 11.11 B installation, I cannot get Sendmail to relay external mail to an Exchange 2000 box.
I have already done the obvious settings in the sendmail.cf file.
1. Added domain name to dj macro
2. Added exchange box to ds macro
We do not use DNS for our unix box so there is no /etc/resolv.conf and I have ensured that both the Exhange server and the unix box itself are listed in /etc/hosts and that service.switch contains
hosts files
aliases files
No matter what I try, when I run
sendmail -v user@domain.com
I get
WARNING: local host name (belf02) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
User@domain.com... domain.com: Name server timeout
User@domain.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
Has onyone seen this before or know what may be causing it. All help welcome.

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
Also, do you have FQDN in /etc/hosts?
Did you restart sendmail after modifying sendmail.cf?

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
Tried adding the domain to the DM macro. Still no joy.
Some entries in /etc/hosts use FQDNs and some don't. The exchange server entry does.

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000

echo \$Z | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d |grep Version

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
I've tried using the loaclhost with and without a FQDN in /etc/hosts without any difference.

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
It needs to be explicitly set up to relay from your Linux box, probably by IP address.
If you are responsible for this box you might want to do a post in the microsoft forum But your results appear to show a rejection of relay.
mailq should show your outbound mail queued up and not delivered.
sendmail -v -q should confirm that conclusion.

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
Then simply try to resolve the FQDN's using nslookup.
If it resolves properly, test sendmail now.

Can you post the actual lines from sendmail.cf
Dj
DS
As well as the lines from /etc/hosts for your server and exchange server?

Re: Sendmail relaying to Exchange 2000
The sendmail box currently has a number of mails queued for delivery.
/etc/nsswitch has the following line
hosts files
using nslookup, I can successfuly resolve the FQDN of the exchange server.
The following lines are taken from my sendmail.cf file
Djeurope.cskcorp.com
DSukbfex01.europe.cskcorp.com
the following lines are taken from /etc/hosts
192.0.0.3 belf02.europe.cskcorp.com
192.0.0.6 ukbfex01.europe.cskcorp.com
The hosts file on the exchange box is empty as it uses DNS. I've noticed on the DNS server that there is no entry for the sendmail box.
