Sendmail over the intranet

[Mauro_8]

I want to send mail to my Lotus Notes account with sendmail. But I??m having problems. This Notes is in my intranet and the HP computer too. I tryed sendmail -v mauro@mydomain.com and the output is:

mauro@mydomain.com... Connecting to nt.mydomain.com. via smtp...
mauro@mydomain.com... Deferred: Connection refused by nt.mydomain.com.

And in the mail.log:
stat=Deferred: Connection refused by nt.mydomain.com.

Any ideas about this problem ?

Mauro

Check you have DNS setup properly on your HP machine.

Hi,
For me, the trouble is not the from, but the to (connection refused)
You can try by hand to see if trouble is on UX side or Notes side :
From the UX side :
telnet nt.mydomain.com 25
helo mydomain.com
mail from: user@mydomain.com
rcpt to: user@mydomain.com
data
and finish with a dot alone
.
quit
If the answer from the smtp server is denied, or the telnet doesn't work, it means that the trouble is on the notes side, or the network between notes and UX (firewall ??).
You have to open relay for your IP adress on the notes server (with smtp enable). And I don't know hao to do it !!

Because the 2 mail servers are in the same domain, the notes server needs to have the HP added as an allowed relay.

I am not a notes setup person, but have setup the sendmail in many locations to talk with notes, so know that it can be done.

Thanks all,

I forgot to use the name of the mail server.

It??s ok now.

Hi,

I'm not sure, but the message:

... connection refused

means that there is not service listening on port 25 ;-)
