sendmail issue

[Adam Noble]

Hi all,

I don't think anyone is going to be able to help but we have an issue with mailing to the outside world and want to rule out the server and sendmail.

We route our mails via a windows server running mail marshal. We have two servers with identical sendmail configs. The hostfiles are also the same. One server is having its mail rejected saying its undeliverable. Its just a test mail from myself again identical on both machines. Is it fair to say if we are seeing it hit the windows server this is a problem at that end and does not relate to the way the mail is sent.

Cheers

If you want relay mail from HP-UX through windows server, then you need host entry in windows mail server of your unix host then you change the sendmail.cf files
then you may able to send mail from unix host through windows mail server to outer world.

Is that your need? If this can help you i can guide you to configure sendmail to relay mail from hp-ux

ok thats fine but sendmail is already configured to go via the windows server? Is there anything else I need to consider on the unix host?

i possible, can you post the error message associated with the undelivered message....

if there is a domain in your network u need resolve.conf file with your domain and nameserver address
and host entry of your FQDN windows mail relay host
like

Example:
10.10.10.10 exchange.example.com exchange

then change the sendmail.cf file according to this entry

Anything more? If you need i can give you the details path for your configuration.
