Hello Sue/John,

If you are using DNS, you can define an MX record for your exchange server.

You can also define name of your exchange server in sendmail.cf as Smart Relay host (look for DS entry -
DS

...Manjeet

Hi John,

I Already do it and you must to change your sendmail.cf file in the /etc/mail directory the line:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS yourexchangeserver
And your sendmail.mc file in the same directory including the lines:
LOCAL_CONFIG
define(`SMART_HOST', `yourexchangeserver')dnl

You must stop and start the sendmail in order to activate the changes.

PD: Obiusly you must include yourexchangeserver in the /etc/hosts file.

Regards,

Justo.
