The error I get is:
Jan 27 11:00:01
Jan 27 11:00:01
I'm thinking that the system is trying to use mailproxy to send the root account messages and I'm pretty sure that is filtered on mailproxy thus the errors.
What configuration would I need to change to allow messages to go to mailproxy when they are going to an external account but process it internally when it's a local (or root) message?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Sendmail problems with messages to root
Sounds like a sendmail config problem.
Do you have the FQDN option (Dj) set?
Should look like
Dj$w.company.com #The $w resolves to hostname
Also check the localhost setting (Fw) - should be
Fw/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
the .cw should contain
localhost
loopback
your_hostname
Set those & bounce sendmail
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
It sounds like it wants to send *everything* to the relay & you don't want local mail leaving the system
HTH,
Jeff

Re: Sendmail problems with messages to root
/etc/resolv.conf
makes sure those servers are valid and sendmail is using them to resolve mail.
sendmail.cf does it have a DS or Dj directive? are they correct.
Run a diagnostic to collect more information
sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 root
type some text
.
The entire process will be traced and you will know exactly where things hang up.
