We use a mail server called mailhost.convergys.com which I have coded in the sendmail.mc and submit.mc file as below...
sendmail version: # rpm -qa |grep sendmai
sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5
[root@odccdds01 ~]# grep mailhost /etc/mail/*
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:define(`MAIL_HUB', mailhost.convergys.com)dnl
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:define(`SMART_HOST', smtp:mailhost.convergys.com)dnl
/etc/mail/submit.mc:FEATURE(`msp', `[mailhost.convergys.com]')dnl
An nslookup on mailhost shows:
[root@odccdds01 ~]# nslookup mailhost.convergys.com
Server: 155.90.250.207
Address: 155.90.250.207#53
mailhost.convergys.com canonical name = cvgmx1.convergys.com.
Name: cvgmx1.convergys.com
Address: 155.90.248.189
And mail is getting relayed to it for distribution as shiwn here:
May 19 04:17:24 odccdds01 sendmail[23063]: n4J8DNPd023063: to=mark.sylvia@convergys.com,michael.lense@convergys.com, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=102546, relay=cvgmx1in.convergys.com. [155.90.248.189], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as B4129150EF7E)
The issue is, whenever mail is sent to:
CVGcpu@perf.dcd.convergys.com, the relay is changed to: trivium2.dcd.convergys.com instead of mailhost.convergys.com and there is no connection....
May 19 08:17:24 odccdds01 sendmail[26368]: n4J3wmcF013985: to=<CVGcpu@perf.dcd.convergys.com>, ctladdr=<adm@odccdds01.convergys.com> (3/4), delay=08:18:36, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=971290, relay=trivium2.dcd.convergys.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with trivium2.dcd.convergys.com.
I don't see or understand where mailhost.convergys.com is being changed to trivium2.dcd.convergys.com ??? Any ideas as to what I may have setup wrong or where to check on this ?? I'm out of ideas...
