Sendmail activity in W 2000 with the help of HPUX 11.00

[hakan_2]

Hi all,
I have a HPUX 11.00 . I installed sendmail 8.9.3 on it. There is no problem in UNIX machine sending and receiving e-mails.
I try to carry this activity to Win 2000/NT clients.
I used IE 5.0 and Outlook express on clients.
What I did is as follows.
From Outlook express, tools and accounts.
I define a new mail account.
I defined My incoming mail server as IMAP,
Incoming mail server and outgoing mail server as abc.com (e.g.) .
I gave Unix account and password which is previously defined on UNIX. It creates account succesfully. But I neither send nor receieve e-mail. It gave "rely denied".
What might the situation? Is there any way to define clients to carry e-amils from UNIX machine to client itself.
Thanks for all replies.
Kind regards.
Hakan.

Maybe you disable the relay feature ,

1. grep ^FR sendmail.cf
to find the relay-domain file name(normaly is /etc/mail/relay-domains)
2. edit the relay file name to add the domain-name of your computer.

for more info , see :

www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying.html

Hi,
There is no relay-domains file in /etc/mail or any other place. What it looks like?
And is client configuration correct?
Do I need any service on HPUX for IMAP?
Thanks.

If you want to provide the IMAP service to mail client , Surely you should have imap daemon runing in the HP box. like the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file ( or running seperately ).

imap stream tcp nowait root /opt/imapd/imapd imapd

you can download the imap for hp from the hpux.cs.utah.edu

Hi,
Now I am receiving e-mails from HP box into clients.
But I am still relay denied problem sending mails from NT /2000 (clients)
what can it be?
(what relay-domains look like, if it cause the problem?)
Thanks.

Hi,
Sendmail 8.9 has "Denied SMTP relay" as default.
Modify "sendmail.cf" to allow relay FEATURE. See reference to files: LocalIP, LocalNames (in Anti-spamming section);
files which contains access control.
Visit "sendmail.org" for more info.
Hope this clears it.

I solved the problem. I define each client IP
in relay-domains file.
It work fine now.
