Shalom,

Mhost map: lookup (xxx.gov.bh): deferred
Key issue.

By default sendmail tries to look up the target address, resolve the DNS name and then connect through smtp port 25 and send the mail.

This will not work with most corporate or government secure networks.

Therefore you need to find out what server your organization uses to relay mail.


Then in sendmail.cf

DShostname_of_relay_server

This is an example

You can bypass DNS lookup and speed things up.

DS
[192.168.0.10]

Where that IP address is the address of the relay server.

Both of the above are examples and you need to get good information before implementing from your network department.

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

# restarts sendmail

Hi,

Can you confirm your smtp-relay server listed in sendmail.cf file

#grep "^DS"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Please post the o/p of

#sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 yourname@domain.com
