After you've made those changes, search inside the newly created file
for:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSrelay-name.domain.com <http://dsrelay-name.domain.com/> <
http://dsrelay-name.domain.com/>

What do you find?

Hi Gef,
Thanks a lot for your inputs.

I made below mentioned changes to the submit.mc and configured
submit.cf.

But still the sendmail uses the relay=root@localhost and the
stat=queued
,
mailer=esmtp.

yes, I just need to send mails .please let me know if i am missing any
other
configurations

Thanks,
kalyan

Are you using mail to both receive and send, or only send?

If you're using it to only send mail, then do the following:

Go to /etc/mail, here you should find a file called submit.mc

Edit this file and update the parameter and add something like this
anywhere to the file:

define('SMART_HOST','relay.domain.com')dnl

And if there's an entry containing something like 'SMTP',
'127.0.0.1'
etc, comment it out by preceding it with dnl (or removing it or
whatever).

Then type the following:

# m4 submit.mc > submit.cf

(You'll need to ensure two packages are installed for this,
sendmail-cf
and m4)

If you're using sendmail to receive mail, submit sendmail.mc/cf for
each
submit.mc/cf above, then restart sendmail.

Subject: sendmail configuration

Hi All,
I am trying to configure sendmail on Linux server.

After the configuration the maillog show below message:

Sep 15 12:19:30 ebizrep sendmail[31924]: n8F8GoWo031924: from=root,
size=70,
class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<

delay=00:02:40, mailer=esmtp, pri=30083, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued
The mail status is showing as queued which makes me think that the
sendmail
configuarion is not properly done.

how to I make the existing mail=esmtp to mailer=relay and
relay=root@localhost to relay=<smtpserver.domain.com>

I am new to this topic. Kindly give your inputs which ll be very
helpful
to
proceed further.

Thanks,
Kalyan
