Sendmail Configuration

[Bruno Vilardo]

Hello all,

I tried to change the sendmail relay to another server.
I used MAILSETUP shown in some other forum question.
But i can get sendmail to work properly.
To tell the truth the sendmail wasn´t work before.
My questions is , what are the steps required in order to make sendmail to work properly.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Brun

Check if the fully qualified hostname of the host is the first to appear in /etc/hosts
If not in /etc/host add the domainname to the local host. :
x.x.x.x myhost.mydomain.com myhost loghost

In sendmail.cf
comment DSmailhost.$m
add DMmydomain.com

Hey Nicolas.

What should i put in these options:

# parent domain
DP

# my domain
DN

# name exported on external internet mail
DW
# my official hostname
Dj


Thanks
