Could someone please help me to solve this issues. I would e ever greatful to them

It looks like you've enabled the mailertable, virtusertable and access databases but haven't created the hash files. Assuming your sendmail directory for these files is /etc/mail, try the following:
That should create the files /etc/mail/access.db, /etc/mail/mailertable.db and /etc/mail/virtusertable.db

Thanks for the help

I ran all the makemap but one of the makemap reported error

makemap -v hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access
key=`connect:localhost.localdomain', val=`RELAY'
key=`connect:localhost', val=`RELAY'
key=`connect:127.0.0.1', val=`RELAY'

so i have tried to create newaliases so that is even throwed error
newaliases
Warning: Option: AuthOptions requires SASL support (-DSASL)

my maillog reported this error

Have you made changes to your sendmail.cf file that aren't supported by your sendmail binary? The SASL error sounds like you're trying to use SASL support but it isn't compiled in. What is the output of the following command please?
Can you also check whether you have SASL support with this?

can you please help me to solve this issue (rewrite:map access not found)

I did some googling but ran out of time. You could try re-generating your sendmail.cf without AuthOptions and then try to re-build your maps - but that's only a guess based on what I read in other threads.

ok.. I have recompiled the sendmail.Sendmail has ran with out any issues after searching lot from the google.But now its having a issue with while sending the mail

please help me out if you have any clue

Hi steve ;


Thanks a lot for the support;

Finally I have resolved the issue.

when I thought I would go with the another MTA to Postfix.So I had started twiking postfix but even Postfix was not able to start.

Then I tough I will remove the postfix and while removing postfix, I came to know that ''Mutt" a email chat application was the one who culprit

I had reinstalled the postfix through "yum install Postfix"

then all of sudden all the issues were resolved

hurray

thanks a lot

I'm glad you got it fixed - sorry I wasn't more help
