localhost.localdomain Problems


I am having a problem with my sendmail configuration. I can recieve mail fine, but I cannot send mail. Here is my up-to-date sendmail.mc file:
Code:

dnl #
dnl # This is the sendmail macro config file for m4. If you make changes to

try changing these two lines from:

FEATURE(`mailertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db')dnl
FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable.db')dnl

to

FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable -T<TMPF>')dnl
FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o /etc/mail/access -T<TMPF>')dnl

You might want to thing about adding this line to prevent some spam from hitting your server:

FEATURE(dnsbl,`sbl.spamhaus.org',`"550 Spam blocked by use of list sbl.spamhaus.
org. See http://www.abuse.net/sbl.phtml?IP="$&{client_addr}" for more informati
on."')dnl

For what it's worth my current sendmail.mc file is:

divert(-1)
include(`../m4/cf.m4')dnl
VERSIONID(`$Id: my MC file 5.x v2 2000/03/12 Exp $')dnl

define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG',`$j Sendmail $v/$Z; $b - NO UCE! - Use of these facilities for storage or transmission of unsolicited advertising e-mail (bulk or otherwise) is PROHIBITED!')dnl

What do you mean by cannot send mail?
Can you tell me have you restart your sendmail daemon?
you are sending the mail in our server or through email client such as Outlook Express in your client computer or from where?
What the error messages ?
