Sendmail at 11.0

[Paul Rohde]

I am new to sendmail, I was wondering if it is possible for senmail to route messages over the internet to exchange servers.

If so, any white papers or instruction would help.

Thanks

Hi,

you can set a relay host to which the sendmail routes the mails.
The configuration ist found at:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Within you have to search for the line with DS
To set a relay host for e. g. mailserver just edit the line to:
DSmailserver
After modifying the file you must stop and restart the sendmail process with:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Greetings

Andrew

The only things I have had to do to get sendmail to forward mail to our SMTP mail gateway is to make the following changes within /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Dj$w.your-domainname.com
DShostname-of-SMTP-server
Example:
Dj$w.berry.bls.com
DSlmbnwf02.berry.bls.com

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

Not all of your problems may be in sendmail... Chcek the exchange server to ensure
it has the internet mail connector. Exchange does not automatically install it.

Do you want to send local mail over the internet?
As mentioned previously, you can direct mail over the internet with the use of a Smart Host. But mail from/to local users would go out to the internet them come in from the internet. If the Exchange is setup, the Smart Host will direct local mail to it. Internet mail to a non-local user on Exchange, again depends on Exchange setup.
