Sendmail relay failing
Hi Techies
Bit new to sendmail thingy.
I have a Solaris 10 box. There is a request generated by customer that they want Solaris 10 box to use as relay an external smtp server.
the smtp server is updated in hosts file and it is pingable.

I have updated by "vi" /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Code:
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
DJ$w.solar.hws.com
# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical
CP.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsolar.hws.com

Restarted the sendmail smf service.
But getting error. Can some one assist.

Code:

Do I need to add any specific user. Any authentication setting is required?
Where is problem can some one guide. I dont want solar.hws.com to get resolved by DNS. but looks like host lookup is failing.
Also It seems that user is not acceppted by smtp server as recpt. Is that mean user is not available. Plz help.
