Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
When I added the relay host name to the sendmail.cw file and stopped and started sendmail nothing worked - I was no longer able to send to myself locally either.
Thanks
Jeff

Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
Just tried to send you mail to 8773443591@airmessage.net it succeeded as you replied on that mail to my server.
So DNS lookups works fine for me.
So yout problem has really to do with reverse lookups for your pager server.
Regards,
Clemens.

Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
the DS can be hostname that is resolved or ip.
like so
DShostname
DS192.xxx.xxx.xx
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

SolutionThis part is the problem:
# nslookup airmessage.net
Using /etc/hosts on: pikachu
looking up FILES
*** No address information is available for "airmessage.net"
So no resolving for airmessage.net !

Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
after you added the DS option did you restart sendmail? Other wise the change wont take.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
Did you have a /etc/resolv.conf file ?
If we are not using dns you could move it away, and try again.
Also are there any messages in the maillog file ?

Re: Unknown User Error when using Sendmail
#nslookup dallasmail
Using /etc/hosts on: pikachu
looking up FILES
Name: dallasmail
Address: xxx.xx.xx.xx
Doesn't this mean that my HP-UX box is talking to my relay server.
Thanks
