Re: sendmail not able to send mails to other domains
To help we're going to need a little more information.
sendmail -v -d8 -d38 someone@aol.com
type some text
.
This information will also be logged in /var/log/maillog
The normal problem with this falls into the following areas:
1) Firewall prevents you from sending a mail on port 25. See firewall admin and check your iptables configuration
2) Your name resolution, defined by GATEWAY and /etc/resolv.conf does not permit your mail transport to resolve names to numeric addresses.
3) You have the DS directive in sendmail.cf configured to relay mail to the outside world throuh a gateway that is not configured to permit mail relay.
All of this will be apparent based on the error code in the logs or from my diagnostic email above.

Re: sendmail not able to send mails to other domains
mailx -v -s "test" user@otherdomain.com
mailq -v
tail /var/log/maillog
This could be a name resolution problem, check /etc/resolv.conf, or a Relay misconfiguration, check /etc/mail/access or /etc/mail/relay-domains.
