Sendmail through MS Exchange 5.5

[Scott Callicott]

Hi,

Trying to setup sendmail on HP-UX 11.0 system. I need the mail to be routed through my MS Exchange 5.5 server to the outside world. Any help would be great. Currently I have my mail.mydomain.com in my HOSTS file and I changed the Dj$w & DS lines of my sendmail.cf file but I do not seem to be able to get mail into any exchange boxes or outside mail accounts.

Hi. I recently had the same issue and posted this on the itrc. The following link may help you as it helped me resolve my problem.

I wanted to get my mail to be sent externally to lotus notes release 5. The following link may help you in setting this up from Unix

Hi,
In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf,
Look for DS,
And add the line :
DS
This means that all emails will be sent to your exchange server.
Don't forget after the change to stop start sendmail :
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

To test it :
sendmail -v (verbode mode..)

DS should be set to the hostname of your exchange server (if your DNS is functioning, then you don't need this to be FQDN). Try pinging the host - if that works then you are okay. If your internal DNS is seperate from external - then you might want to set the DM macro as well to the Domain Name you want to masquerade as. Also, your Exchange server has to allow your host to relay mail to it.

You should also check the Exchange Server.
It has to be set up as a SMTP Relay machine.
You can set it up to relay everybody, or, better yet, set it up to relay only your
IP address.
