HI,
Am on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)

I need to configure Sendmail in my Linux Server.

1. edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

dnl #
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=172.16.10.6,Name=MTA')dnl
dnl #

2.rebuild /etc/sendmail.cf from the revised /etc/mail/sendmail.mc thus:

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

3. Edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail


DAEMON=yes
QUEUE=1h

cd /etc/mail
make
service sendmail restart

5.sendmail -v abc@gmail.com

If your system does not have a static IP address, or if the IP does not reverse resolve, then gmail may take it as spam. As to why it is not able to send mails to your office id, you should check the log files for sendmail. You should get some idea where the messages are. Are they being differed, or your remote server is not allowing your server to send messages.

HI,

Thanks For quick reply

Where i can find the sendmail log file ...


Thanks

Usually you can find sendmail logs under /var/log/maillog files.
