dears is the configurations in the red correct for sendmail.cf

DWdatawarehouse

my louts nots server = DSlstn-lono-svr

#Dj$w.Foo.COM
# top level psuedo domains
CP.
# UUCP relay host
#DYrelayhostname
#CPUUCP
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DWdatawarehouse
DSlstn-lono-svr
# operators trehousehat cannot be in local usernames (i.e., network indicators)
CO @ % !
# a class with just dot (for identifying canonical names)
C..
# a class with just a left bracket (for identifying domain literals)
C[[

for two weeks i am trying to configure the sendmail.cf

I don't use the config item that starts with "DW". I do use the "DS" just like you have it set. Can your box resolve "lstn-lono-svr"?

Code:

nslookup lstn-lono-svr

nslookup lstn-lono-svr

Server: 172.24.110.1
Address: 172.24.110.1#53
Name: lstn-lono-svr.shcb.sh.bank
Address: 172.16.161.11

what do you see if you



telnet lstn-lono-svr 25


connection closed ? or some escape character or blank screen

1) if you see connection closed means lstn-lono-svr port 25 service is not started, go start it up.

2) if you see escape character or blank screen means the service is started
Escape character is '^]'.
220 LUNCHBOX ESMTP Sendmail

if (2) happens and you mail is still not going out maybe you need to work with your networkguy/security/firewall admin to find out why.
