error while I'm sending emails

[Verónica Muñoz Segovia]

I'm doing some test with a new relay smtp server, and when I send a email with mailx I have the follow error messages:


Relaying Denied
User unknown
Unable to relay for user@domain.com

What else am I need to do in order to receive emails?

PD. I don't have setup DNS is only by files

What version sendmail are you using? 8.9.3 blocks relays by default when you use the standard sendmail.cf file. The version information would help everyone answer you question much quicker.

Add the IP of the sending server to LocalIP on the SMTP server (relay host). Restart sendmail.

(If you have more questions, please post the version of sendmail you're running on the relay host).

Hi

do a sendmail -vt mailid
and post the results along
with the version of sendmail.

Hi,

check with sendmail -bv and see the result if it resolves.
Check your DNS setup also for the MX
recoreds Also have a look in /etc/resolve.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf files
for the proper setup

Goodluck,

I'm using sendmail 8.9.3 and I setup manually on the /etc/host the IP Server and server.domain.com of the smtp server relay.

I ran sendmail -bvt userid and the result is:
userid.domain.com... deliverable: mailer relay, host smtp.domain.com, user userid.domain.com

Any idea?

Hello,

HAve u put relay host name in sendmail.cf file under /etc/mail directory.

The entry should be like

DSsmtprelayname

Check this is write. The same smtprelayname should be there in /etc/hosts also.

Regards
Joe.
