Sendmail relay

[SILO Storagetek]

Hi everyone.
I've a problem with my sendmail: I've 50 hosts, and a relay, all systems with hp-ux 11.i running.
In host systems, I set DSrelay.mydomain.com, and DMmydomain.com

Everything worsk fine, but my relay send everything to a system outside the firewall, because it's the only MX found with nslookup.
Now, I need to forward the internal mail (name@mydomain.com) to another relay, relay2.
I've tryed to set Dj.wmydomain.con and DHrelay2.. but doesn't works.. it seems thad DS override the DH...
any suggest?

The problem is probably on the relay server. Its probably not properly routing internal mail.

Try this diagnostic trick to check whats going on with mail.

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@aol.com

Type some text like this.



type a dot(period)

.


You should see the pass off to the DS server.

do the same thing with a local address.

If you see a pass off to the DS server, the DS server needs instructions on what to do with internal mail.

Hi,

file this as /etc/mail/mailertable and run as you are told

---------------------
# Usage:
# makemap dbm /etc/mail/mailertable < /etc/mail/mailertable

# send local mail to local relay
wmydomain.com smtp:[ip-of-internal-relay]

---------------------

So you created the mailertable ok?
did you restart sendmail?

Bernhard's solution is also the one we settled on. So now that it works, why not give him his due?
