thanks for your reply Susindram

Hi Srinath,

Please give your relay server name.I guess your relay server name is mailhost.sshcorp.com and telnet to the mailhost.sshcorp.com IP.Please take IP from nslookup in cmd...

No need to specify the any where apart from main.cf.........

We need to enable mail access in relay host server first.Thats why i have asked telnet to your relay server.Smilie

Hi Susi,

the one which i tried was the new server which is not working.
Here are the outcomes of the old one.

root@sshldb # ping smtp.sshcorp.com
smtp.sshcorp.com is alive
root@sshldb # nslookup smtp.sshcorp.com
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
root@sshldb # telnet smtp.sshcorp.com 25
Trying 15.12.88.10...
Connected to smtp.sshcorp.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
