RE: Sendmail relay configuration - RHEL 3.0



What do you mean by "it didn't work"? Do the mails queue? If so, what does the output of "mailq" show? What messages are you seeing in /var/log/maillog?
 
How is your name resolution set up? Are you using DNS? Does your DNS server have MX records for the external domain(s) you are trying to send to?
 
Try:
 
$ dig remote_domain mx
 
What do you see?

I've already tried that (and can do it again anytime). It didn't work.

 

I've tried sending a local mail with the -v option, just to see the difference, and I could see the smtp protocol. The external mails don't even reach the remote mail server, but I can ping it, and connect by telnet.
