Sendmail

[John Olcott]

We have a K570 with HPUX 11.0. Whenever I try to send mail from our Notes Server to our k box I get a reject=550, relaying denied error. This only comes up if I use the name. It works if I use the IP address. I added the name & address to our Wins server. We don't use dns here & I have setup the /etc/hosts file & /etc/mail/sendmail.cw & cf files. I can send from 1 k box to the other & vise versa & I can send mail from Notes to our other k box. I can also send mail from the box in question to Notes. Thanks

John,

Sounds like it may be related to your mail gateway. In order to transfer MX records from 1 node to another in a WAN/LAN environment you have to register the node names with the mail-proxy servers.

Hi John,

It's the Notes server that's doing this. It probably has the other K as a "trusted" server - but not the one that "fails". OR...it has the name of the K as a "denied" host & that's why it rejects on name only.
Can someone interrogate the sendmail setup on the Notes server to verify?

Rgds,

Hi John

You need to know how the notes server resolve the IP address to name for the K Box.

Hi John,

One thought - do you have a file /etc/mail/access ? OR any other access file specified in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ?

If you have it, check the content of that file and see whether it 'reject' your Windows server.
