Hi,

vi sendmail.cf file in /etc/mail

search for DS string by ^DS
infront of DS put exchange servers' ful qualified domain name
Save and quit sendmail file
restart the sendmail daemon by
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Goodluck,
-USA...

Hi,

As long as your DNS server registers your Exchange server in the MX (Mail Exchange) records for your domain, you do not need to modify /etc/sendmail.cf

To check, at the nslookup prompt, type

nslookup> set type=mx
nslookup> [enter your domain]

Hope this helps. Regards.
