Question regarding sendmail and exchange 5.5
Hi all,

I have a question. I am running an exchange 5.5 server and a UNIX DNS server. Currently, I am able to receive messaages but cannot send messages. By send I mean that I create a message, hit the send button, it hits the outbox and disappears. I checked the MTA on 5.5 and the message is gone. The recipient never gets the message and I receive no error/undeliverable messages. I'm thinking that something in my DNS is hosed; possibly my sendmail file. I am not a UNIX admin by any stretch. Has anyone heard of this problem and maybe can give me some insight on a fix?

Where exactly does sendmail come into the equation? Do you have something like an exchange server for internal mail and a mail gateway running sendmail?

exchange 5.5/unix
As it turns our, there seems to be some issue internally to exchange (currently troubleshooting). through other troubleshooting steps, we were able to determine that sendmail was not the problem after all.Smilie
