Put the entry of your relay server in /etc/hosts.

Modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and modify DS macro.

In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file look for DS macro by /^DS and infront of DS entry put your mail relay domain name. Like this:

DSyourmailrelayserver.domanname

save and quit and restart the sendmail by
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop and /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Look for log file for the status of every mail in /var/adm/syslog/mail.log file

Good luck,

Do you want to #1 configure your server as a mail relay or #2 point it at an existing mail relay?

If #1, then add all ip's or FQDM into /etc/mail/access

127.0.0.1 relay
192.168.2.1 relay
somehost.domain.com relay
anotherhost.yourdomain.com relay

Then make map it:

makemap hash /etc/mail/access
Restart sendmail (kill -HUP sendmailpid)

#2 - as other have stated, set the DS macro in sendmail.cf to your mail realy server

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSyourrelayserver

You may also want to set the DM macro as well:

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMyourdomain.com

Hi,

Use the DS macro.

Try this doc to setup and test your mail relay.

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000062972552

The doc id is KBRC00000010

Hope this helps.

You have good data on how to relay your servers mail to other servers.

If you need to allow your server to relay mail, its the /etc/mail/access file.

IP_address RELAY

will let you define what servers are allowed to relay mail via the server in question.

Sounds like you want to relay your mail off another box. Do remember if thats true that you will have to open up that server for relay or the connection will be reset.

A good email diag:

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@some.net
type some text

.


You will get good diagnostics from that command.
