mail going to mqueue folder

[Todd McDaniel_1]

Okay, I have a system which is now supposedly allowed to pass thru a local firewall to allow mail and monitoring to occur.

Well I have ensured that sendmail is configured properly and tested internal email, but all my extra-server mail gets stuck in the queue.

My /etc/resolv.conf is setup properly.

I am wondering if there is anything I have forgotten? Any thoughts?

A quick check would be in sendmail file for the DS flag.

Do you correct setup for DS flag.

This shouldn't be too hard to nail down. First do a sendmail -bp, which should list the queue. Next examine mail.log which, by default, is /var/adm/syslog/mail.log but a "cat /etc/syslog.conf" will tell you the mail log location for sure. The mail.log entries should tell you the problem sendmail is having.

Shalom,

sendmail -v -q

This runs the sendmail queue and provides verbose diagnostics.

/var/adm/syslog/mail.log may already have diagnotics.

Alternate diags
sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@my.net

type some text

I think I found the issue.

Apparently when they fixed the dns issue, the work didnt include allowing smtp traffic.

So I will have to issue a new ticket for the smtp issue.

Thanks all for your replies.
