sendmail relay prob.

Mon May 30 05:49:35 UTC 2005

thanks a lot bill , i will try digging in logs and actually messages are rejected by local server itself not remote one.
try to put entry someuser at sendmaildomainname in /etc/aliases in your server , it will be rejected , in my case it is rejected , but if i put entry of some other domain, it works.
all my outside users do not have laptops/computers , so they go cybercafe and check mails , right now i divert their mails to their yahoo/hotmail id's , but i wanna to divert on our on domain "mail.tivimtech.com" which works as i have created their pop a/c their individually and these a/c's get a copy of incoming mails as i have configred them their on website and what i want want just if i send mail from here to those pop a/c's that is relayed outside from here and finally they will get it.

any way i will try it 

if u have any suggestion highly appriciated 

thanks a lot once again

regards

ajay

  Hmmmm.  I think our setups are somewhat different then.  I don't use a virtusertable here.
  Usually, we just create an alias for outside users that points to their outside email address and we are done.

  We have a couple users that are working from home so that is how we do it.

  What we do in other cases, is set up the pop account locally for the user.  Have them check mail on our server.
  But they send mail from their home ISP whatever it may be.  Which works very well for users with dynamic IP's.

  But the error message you are getting.  Which server is rejecting the message?  I am assuming it's the remote mail server.
  Perhaps turn up the logging in sendmail to get more data.  Usually you can determine some of the issues by the error message.
  Usually you will see an error code as well.  Then you can search sendmail's site or google etc for that error message and maybe 
  find out why it's being rejected.

      This is easy.  Just enter into /etc/aliases karuppan1: <outside email address>  then run newaliases.

      And if you want to add for the user to relay mail from your server you would make an entry in /etc/mail/access like as follows.  "<users ip address if static>  RELAY"

      Then you do a makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access providing that is how you have your sendmail set up, to use hash.

        i am using sendmail to fetchmail mails from my domain "tivimtech.com" and using aliases under on mailbox i.e. pop account.

        i can also relay mail outside but except anyuser at tivimtech.com 

        as if i send mail to anyuser on tivimtech.com , it simply try to route it locally but i want it to be relayed outside as i have created a seprate pop a/c for one of my company employe on internet in tivimtech.com

        he keeps on moving so he need mails outside.

        so i wanna send mail to this particular user outside on my network.

        tell me some was so as i can exclude this id "karuppan1 at tivimtech.com " from my local network and if anyone sends mail at this id it simply goes outside or is their some was if sendmail do not find some entry locally , it simply relay it outside.

        hope you have understoop my problem

        thanks and regards
