I've found out something that may be significant, but I'm not sure what to do with it:
"mailhost" is an alias in /etc/hosts for the old mailserver which is still active, but the preferred mailserver is "outlook", which is 3 load-balanced servers:
Obviously I can't put them all in /etc/hosts with the same address, but when I took the "mailhost" line out, it failed to find any mailserver at all.
How do I tell sendmail that the mailhost is "outlook.fqdn.uk" without putting only one address in /etc/hosts?
Many thanks

P.S.
Code:
# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns

OK, Having a better idea of what I'm looking for now, I found the solution - it's just the implementation I'm unsure of now.
I put the correct mailhost name in sendmail.cf like so:
Code:
DSoutlook.fqdn.uk
then restarted sendmail and emails get delivered in just a few seconds.
My last question on this is...
I need to add it to sendmail.cf via editing sendmail.mc and running make on it, but what's the syntax for sendmail.mc?
Do I just add the DS line as I want it to appear in sendmail.cf as it is above?
Many thanks
