Hi,


I am configuring some systems to use my windows SMTP server as a mailrelay.
On AIX, the only thing I did was changing this in sendmail.cf and it worked perfectly after restarting sendmail.

DS[172.16.20.12]
Djsnipperdesnip.eu

On Redhat, the mail never reaches the mailserver.

on extract of a message that keeps sitting

I can reach the mailserver and port 25

hosts file:

172.16.20.12 mailserver

Thx

What does your mail log say on the Red Hat server? (Probably at /var/log/maillog)

That's all, no error messages. Messages gets in /var/spool/clientmqueue after this.

is there any way to have more logging, I can't find why the message was rejected.
