linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Environment is Amazon EC2, running Amazon Linux (Centos-like) with sendmail 8.14.4 and Cyrus sasl 2.1.23. The machine has an elastic IP address that is the target of a domain name, and reverse DNS is setup for it. MX record points at an external server, so the machine does not deal with any incoming internet email, only outgoing. For all outgoing off-node email, I want to use a TLS authenticated connection to smtp.googlemail.com. There are lots of tutorials and articles about this kind of setup (several on this site and its sister sites), as it seems to be a fairly popular way of dealing (HowTos)

HI, I use redhat 5.7 . I configure sendmail as client and deliver the email to the external SMTP server(10.1.1.176) . The smtp server need SMTP AUTH in order to send email with SMTP.

[root@localhost asterisk]# sendmail -f kingman

I have a machine I don't want postfix running on and am using sendmail. I modified /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to have this line(hoping it would send mail through that postfix server)...

define(`SMART_HOST', `postfixhost.yyyy.com')dnl

and ran make to regen the sendmail.cf file and checked it and it looks good.

i need help for sendmail configuration in our linux machine.

Here the things: I want to send email to outside by using our exchange server as the mail relay.But when sending the email through the server,it will response "user unknown".To make it worse, it will bounce back all the sent message to my localhost.

I already tested our configuration by using external mail server such as gmail and yaho

Everytime I'm trying to send message this error occured:

Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.googlemail.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.

I'm using automatic setup, receiving email and other inbox operation just works.

Here is my outgoing server setup:

Hi

I have two realtively identical Solaris zones. They both appear to have the same config in relation to sendmail. But, when I send a test email using mailx the first one sends via a mail relay and the other sends via localhost.

We have ubuntu 12.04 server and installed sendmail to send mails from this server.

Problem:

There is some strange issue on mail server.

How to configure mail 45 weeks 1 day ago

Hi guys! I've been reading lots of tutorial about how to configure sendmail with its 2 main files sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc. I have tried to change different macros in sendmail.mc each time restarting sendmail to get it to work but nothing. I am using Fedora 15 and the sendmail program works fine on local host but I want it to work with yahoo smtp.
