Sendmail reconfigure
 

Hello,

I was given task to change configuration for sendmail. I need to change the IP for smart host relay.

I googled a few sites and searched this forum to check how that is done. What I cathered from results is that I need to make changes to sendmail.mc and then recreate the config file.

So I found the smarthost that had our old IP and changed it to the new one
define(`SMART_HOST', `********')dnl

then issued command
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
I also checked that sendmail.cf changed DS********

Then I restarted sendmail service.

But checking the maillog I noticed that the old smart host is still in use. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Please help the n00b and google handicap :D

Hi,

What is the output of:
Maybe your'e using mailertable to overwrite some domains

Hello and thanks for answering.

Apparently the solution was borrowed from Windows world. I rebooted the machine and problem was solved. I don't understand why restartting service didn't help. I quess that happens when you go poke around system you didn't install your self :D
