When you say it's slow - does the message stays too much in the Outbox or it's being received after a while ? It may be the case that there's some queue, big files sitting somewhere, spamassassin stuck for some reason, load on the server itself - what does the top shows ?
Checking the SMTP's IP whiltelist status can be done most easily on spamcop.net and spamhaus.org. Check the log files on why the messages may be stuck, usually there's an error message with corresponding code like 4xx or 5xx.

Hi.
I need to set up sendmail so that it can send mail to a mail relay.
I have never touched sendmail before so I am not sure how to do this. All incoming mail is directed to a different server - this is just to enable me to get mail out.
Running Solaris 8 on Sparc.
Many thanks,

I'd like to find out how to redirect Outbound packets.
So instead of having packets go to IP1 as they normally would, have them go to IP2 instead.
I believe this is possible using IPFW but I'm not sure. I've played with it, but haven't gotten too far.
Any ideas would be appreciated. (1 Reply)

smtp(n) smtp client smtp(n)
NAME
smtp - Client-side tcl implementation of the smtp protocol
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl
package require mime ?1.3.2?
package require smtp ?1.3.2?
::smtp::sendmessage token option...
DESCRIPTION
The smtp library package provides the client side of the smtp protocol.
::smtp::sendmessage token option...
This command sends the MIME part (see package mime) represented by token to an SMTP server. options is a list of options and their
associated values. The recognized options are:
-servers
A list of SMTP servers. The default is localhost.
-ports A list of SMTP ports. The default is 25.
-queue Indicates that the SMTP server should be asked to queue the message for later processing. A boolean value.
-atleastone
Indicates that the SMTP server must find at least one recipient acceptable for the message to be sent. A boolean value.
-originator
A string containing an 822-style address specification. If present the header isn't examined for an originator address.
-recipients
A string containing one or more 822-style address specifications. If present the header isn't examined for recipient
addresses). If the string contains more than one address they will be separated by commas.
-header
A list of keywords and their values (may occur zero or more times).
If the -originator option is not present, the originator address is taken from From (or Resent-From); similarly, if the -recipients option
is not present, recipient addresses are taken from To, cc, and Bcc (or Resent-To, and so on). Note that the header key/values supplied by
the -header option (not those present in the MIME part) are consulted. Regardless, header key/values are added to the outgoing message as
necessary to ensure that a valid 822-style message is sent.
The command returns a list indicating which recipients were unacceptable to the SMTP server. Each element of the list is another list, con-
taining the address, an SMTP error code, and a textual diagnostic. Depending on the -atleastone option and the intended recipients, a non-
empty list may still indicate that the message was accepted by the server.
