after spending 1/2 a day trying to relay to gmail i realized that the port is block by optonline.net. Doh. feel silly.
So now i'm trying to configure sendmail to relay using the mail.optonline.net. And it's not going well.
Here is the log and config file. I'm out of ideas at this point and any suggestion(s) are very welcomed.
Code:
[root@vmhost mail]# grep -v ^dnl ./sendmail.mc

LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
the client-info file is :
Code:
cd auth
[root@vmhost auth]# ls -l
total 16
-rw------- 1 root root 58 Mar 15 22:41 client-info
-rw------- 1 root root 12288 Mar 15 22:41 client-info.db
[root@vmhost auth]# cat ./client-info
AuthInfo:mail.optonline.net "U:root" "I:my_username_on_optonline.net" "P:mypassword"
an attempt to send an email. Not sure why it sends it to localhost and what user "az" has to do with all this - i'm "root" now.
Code:
[root@vmhost mail]# sendmail -v fake_email@optonline.net
buba
real pain
