HP-UX

[btiller]

All, I am new to HPUX and have a requirement to have sendmail receive emails relayed from our local Exchange server. The previous admin set this up but a new requirement has been given and I have to set up 2 new recipients. I followed the steps the previous administrator documented but am still having an issue. I have modified the "genericstable" and "virtusertable" under /etc/mail to include the 2 new recipients (and remapped the "genericstable.db"). 

The 2 new recipients are named:
apinvoiceric@fd1.fareva.com and apinvoice@dthsapdvm01.fareva.priv

When I attempt to test using telnet, I get the following errors (the errors are different for each user)
RCPT TO: apinvoiceric@fd1.fareva.com
550 5.1.1 apinvoiceric@fd1.fareva.com... User unknown
RCPT TO: apinvoice@dthsapdvm01.fareva.priv
550 5.7.1 apinvoice@dthsapdvm01.fareva.priv... Relaying denied. Proper authentic
ation required.

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks!

The HP-UX machine that you are on has not been given permission to use the Exchange server for relaying. Rather than using telnet, use sendmail like this:

# sendmail -v bill.hpux@gmail.com </etc/issue
bill.hpux@gmail.com... Connecting to [10.11.10.200] via relay...

The relay machine is 10.11.10.200 (aka, atl1.corp.ad) and it has confirmed that ftp.servicedirect.com (10.10.100.41) is allowed to relay messages.

Test your system like this:

# sendmail -v apinvoiceric@fd1.fareva.com < /etc/issue

The message "Relaying denied" means that you must contact your Exchange server admin and have them setup relaying for your HP-UX machine.
