sendmail don't send

[Uday_S_Ankolekar]

Hello,

Modify your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

Open sendmail.cf in vi mode Look for DS flag by /^DS insert your EXchange server name infront of this .
Like : DSyourexhangeserver. Or if you have any other mail server put that name.
Save and quit the sendmail.cf.
Restart sendmail process by
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Check the mail status by tail -f /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

Goodluck

Hi Claudio,

In your /etc/resolv.conf file - what does the line starting with search say - should be something like

search company.com

this is what will be appended to all host names that are not FULLY qualified
EX host.company.com OR
host.subnet.company.com
when a search is requested.

So in your example is
vsurjex.vsul.your_domain.your_domain_type
a proper, fully qualified name AND in your name resolution - be it hostsfile/DNS/NIS?

Of course if you don't have a search line - you need to add one OR make sure you give sendmail the fully qualified host name.

HTH,
Jeff

Uday and Mark,

I had modified /etc/mail/sendmail.cf about DS field.
Thank you so much to everyone!

Hi Claudio,
The DS is a way to solve your trouble, but be careful, because this means that you will always use your exchange server for sending outgoing mail. IE that all mails which are for another host/domain will use your exchange server. This one has to be configured as a relay for outgoing mail !
If this is what you want, then it's ok !

Benoit
