Mailing to the internet

[Remko Oosenbrug]

I want to mail from my UNIX system to the internet. I have on the same system an exchange server called skw01 who can mail to the internet trhough port 25. How must i configure UNIX (sendmail ?) so it will deliver the mail to the exchange server?

Setup the smarthost entry in the sendmail.cf file. This would be the DS macro.

Example: DS

Bounce the mail daemon so the sendmail.cf file is read with the new config. From this point, should be able to mailx

You need to set the DS macro in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, then stop and restart sendmail...

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSskw01

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Once you done the modification mentionned above, you may get an you mail with an error message in exchange (I did since exchange doesnt use the same charset...)
If so you will have to create an .mailrc file for the users with inside:
set crt=21
set encoding=8bit
set charset=iso-8859-1

Good luck
