Solaris

I have a solaris 10 server running sendmail 8.13.8, configuration file V10. On another server I am able to send local emails without appending a domain name but on this server I cannot. The mail does not bounce, the log file says they are sent, but they are not delivered. There isn't a problem with qualified names. I have added various entries for unqualified hosts, etc, without luck.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks

is your domain set in resolv.conf?

Yes I do. The windows admin looked at the queue on the relay (exchange server) and it may be an issue there.

BUT

I am finding that all email (even that sent to root@ip.address) is being sent to the relay and not delivered locally.

In my configuration file I have

CL root

but when I send mail from the command line on the same machine, it sends it to the relay.

I would like to generate a new cf where local mail gets delivered locally, but outgoing mail gets relayed. This is a solaris 10 box.

THanks


Thanks

I entered this but the log file below show its going to the relay.

Do you have either
1. mailhost set in /etc/hosts
2. smartrelay set in sendmail.cf
To the address of your main mail server ?

I have all those things. I researched a bit more and found this.

When I first set up this server, I could not send mail out. I learned I had to set the mailhost in the submit.cf file, and that worked. Then what I found was that local email (ie) user@host.domain.com or even to root, was not longer being delivered.

I need to have all root mail delivered locally and mail addresses to user@host.domain.com delivered locally, but all other mail sent to the relay server. I also need all addresses that have no domain appended (ie) mailuser, sent to the relay as mailuser@domain.com (not mailuser@host.domain.com). Right now they are trying to be delivered locally, which I understand is the submit.cf behavior.

I do not want this server listening on port 25.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It almost impossible to make out what you have and have not configured, why not rename the cf files then copy the .cf files from a working server? You can then compare what is different.
