Thanks for the reply. This is what I get
ps -ef|grep -i mail
root 2000 1 0 Mar 04 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpd -H ki2_isp1 -r
ki2_isp1 is the server it is on
I am not sure what you mean by network topology but for ease to get this working I am using servers all on the same flat network and there are no firewalls eq server 1 is 10.1.1.17 server 2 is 10.1.1.19 and there is only a hub between them no routes need to be setup. I am therefor assuming the SMTP gateway would be the IP address of the server I am on but do not know wher to set this up
I have read a bit on send mail and have initiated /etc/init.d/sendmail start and now when I do a ps -ef |grep -i mail i get
root 2000 1 0 Mar 04 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpd -H ki2_isp1 -r
root 10593 1 0 11:26:25 ? 0:00 /usr/ucblib/sendmail -bd -q30m but this process dies after a few mins but not sure where to look for errors
I have tried sending another mail while this process is still running
mail root@cro_isp1
fhfdsslkas
UX:mail: ERROR: Can't send to !cro_isp1!root (root@cro_isp1)
UX:mail: ERROR: Return to root
and get the above error and the bolw error in the email of the sending server
