How to setup mail with Exchange server?

[Dave Lamoureaux]

I'm having the same symptom - Can the author reply with how they solved the problem:

This is what it is in the mail log file. Hope this will give more insight.

Hi Dave,

You will need to configure /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by updating at about line 710-750 the line you see DS
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS
---> to DS


All the best
Victor

You want the Exchange server to handle the mail?

Point the HPUX sendmail to the Exchange server with the DS directive in the sendmail.cf file
DSyouexchangeserver.com

Can use a name (if resolution is correct) or IP.

All mail originating from the HPUX will go to the Exchange server.

On top of DS, you might also need to set the DM macro to your company domain name.

and most important of all, talk to the exchange mail server admins to add the ip address of your server to the list of hosts from which they allow mail relaying. Most probably, your company like any other sensible one, is not running their internet bordering mail gateways in open relay mode. SOmeone needs to tell the server who is authorized for relaying and who is not.

Hi Dave,

You need to configure the sendmail as the relay host, check the document (dociID : KBRC00003561) about 'Sendmail: using sendmail as a relay host' at the url below :

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Step by Step like follows:
(1).Check the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file, and look for the sting DS. Then append the hostname of the firewall:

DS

(2). Sendmail needs to have a domain name defined. This is usually no problem
when using DNS, but will need to be added when using a host file. A hostname
can be defined as follows in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

(3) the host file (the file is /etc/hosts) entry should be changed to match this.

(4) Testing:/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -dX some_email_add@some_domain.com

(5)Check the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log for error log

Dave,
we use sendmail.cf whitout modifications.
- In the intenal DNS add an MX type register with youy Exchange Server with SMTP service.
- Allow relay for the HP-UX IP address in the SMTP configuration of exchange.
