Debugging a "sendmail" issue
Basically I am trying to track down the cause of a problem when using sendmail. It seems to work fine to the majority of hosts, however there is a problem which one recipient (lets say
hick@jimbob.com) is not getting the emails.
Something to note, when I tried pinging jimbob.com (domain used in the email address) it does not give any results. However the internet browser is able to open the website of jimbob.com, and outlook is able to successfully send to
hick@jimbob.com.
Which makes me think this is down to a problem within sendmail. Anyone idea's on how to diagnose this issue?
Appreciate any helpful replies.
