Does anyonw know of a good resource for setting up sendmail? I have an
RHEL 4 server that I'm trying to setup sendmail on. It should be
forwarding mail to an MS exchange host but mail never leaves the box.
i can telnet on port 25 to the exchange server and successfully send
mails out, so the problem seems to lie on my Linux box,

Thanks,

sendmail.org - and the excellent sendmail manuals.

I suspect sendmail might be overkill though - it's is a serious bit of
code for moving mail about regardless of the volume or destination. In
addition to being very fast and reliable it is also reconfigurable to
the point of absurdity. Exchange....well, let's just say its not. You
might consider using a different MTA - Postgres is very good IME, but
I don't have as high an opinion of QMail and Exim that I do of
Sendmail.

Anyway....you could always lok for an answer here or other usenet
groups. But do give some indication of what you have changed in your
configuration (you have set a smart relay and restarted sendmail with
the new config? Checked the mail and security logs to see why mails
are not going out?)
