sendmail configuration

[mwagiru]

I have configured sendmail to send mail to internal users in our LAN via MS Exchange but I cant get it to send mail outside like to xyz@gmail.com.
What do I need to do?

Why does my sendmail try to resolve?
I can send all emails to internal LAN, but I cant send to external email like gmail.See my partial attached output.

Your /etc/nsswitch.conf file determines how your system will attempt to resolve host names.

Your /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies the DNS server(s) you want to use to resolve host names.

This specific tells you that the server cannot get to any of the DNS servers specified in your /etc/resolv.conf file.

Your /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies the DNS server(s) you want to use to resolve host names.

That should be, "Your /etc/resolv.conf file specifies the DNS server(s) you want to use to resolve host names.

Sorry for any confusion.
