Hi ,

I have to set up sendmail in centos 5.2 running server.
Basically , we have hosted exchange server for our business - outlook mail which is smtp.xxx.xx.com running in 2525 port - smtp . i would like to configure in sendmail so that i can send/receive mail via my centos box . Could you pls suggest me as to how to do that?

Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,

well first i will say install sendmail-cf
yum install sendmail-cf

then go to folder /etc/mail/

and vi into sendmail.mc

look for line add define (smart_host', 'add your smtp server address here')
save the file and then run the following command
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

then edit your aliases file which is located in /etc/
at the bottom eher it ststes root add your email address save file and then type newaliases in command line

then restart your sendmail daemon

service sendmail restart

and thats it.

I did that so but no mail has been received in my outlook in box. Is it because of any firewall issue?
