ok I have a win2k domain and an exchange server for email. I have implemented a RH 7.3 for webserver. My website sends email to users who register and is suppose to send one to me when they do. The users get the email but I never do. When I do a sendmail -q
I get a xx@xxx.com User unknown
root... User unknown
root... User unknown

Can someone please help????

Thanks,

Mike

Try posting actual log entries. Your santised approximated error message make it a little difficult to see what the problem is

Regards

ok mail can go out from my sendmail to yahoo.com, hotmail.com, etc but not to graystarr.com which is my domain and what my exchange server is mail.graystarr.com.
I fixed the sendmail -q issue but still not sending mail to my windows domain for some reason.

With what error message?

not sure. where again are the log files so I can tell you the error?

Thanks

ok the log says daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket
