Relay Mail to Exchange Client

[Brian butler]

I have three HPUX 11.11 boxes running service gaurd, with the domain name of domain1.com i have a whole company of microsoft machines with the domain name of domain2.com, with a public domain of domain2.corp.com. The mail server can be resolved to mail.domain2.com, i have no problems relaying mail through SMTP with other apps. My problem is the boss set up the hp boxes with the incorrect domain name when setting them up, we are currently only using host file lookup, i have made some changes to the sendmail.cf to the DS, and the FQDN. and im still unable to send mail through the exchange server.
I am able to ping the mail server from the HP box with both domain names
mailserv.domain1.com
mailserv.domain2.com
i have added both entrys to the hosts file just to see if it would make a diffrence.

There are two paths based on how one interprets your question.

If you want mail accessible to Exchange 2000 clients, you can install qpopper on the HP-UX systems and that will let you do popmail access right off the HP box. Based on your information, I don't think thats what you want.

You can make all the changes you want to your DS settings in sendmail.cf and it won't help if you don't enable relay on the Exchange server.

DS
[IP of exchange server]

save the sendmail.cf
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

If the exchange server isn't going to allow mail relay from your HP server the mail will go nowhere.

How do you check?

You run sendmail interactively.

/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 stevenprotter@juf.org

plug in the email address on the exchange server you want to test.

I will attach the outpout. All you need to dois type a message and then a single dot(.) and enter.

You will get diagnostics and the Exchange server will either accept the mail or reply with a nasty message about relay.

The attached message is a successful send. Take a look at the output and you will be able to tell whats going on.

nslookup hoan.com

make sure it is your DNS maps and /etc/resolv.conf points to your DNS nameserver..

Or maybe your not even using DNS?
