Guys,

 

Am not sure if this is the appropriate = forum….but am….

 

Having major problems with = Sendmail and FreeBSD Version 4.6 (standard = installation).  Am I missing something…as = this was working under Version 4.4?

 

Any assistance would be greatly = appreciated…

 

Am using the “sendmail.cf” to send all SMTP email to a configured SMTP relay.  I can telnet port25 and perform = a manual connect.

 

DNS is configured correctly (nslookup resolves).  However am = using a split DNS (acme.org and acme.com).  = With acme.com being external

 

Am wishing to send all mail = to my internal SMTP email server (using a relay = method).  This was working under FreeBSD = 4.4!

 

******************************************************= ************************

</etc/mail/sendmail.cf>

 

# "Smart" relay host (may be = null)

DSmymailserver.acme.org=

 

Here is the output from a basic email = test:

 

coremonitor02$ mail -v = test.user@acme.com

Subject: test

test

.

EOT

riotinto.com: Name server = timeout

test.user @acme.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future = delivery

test.user @acme.com... queued

 

I can fix the Name server timeout by using a service.switch file.  It appears that FreeBSD 4.6 sendmail = always looks for a suitable MX record even though a SMTP relay has been = hard=3Dcoded??

 

</etc/mail/service.switch>

hosts   = files

aliases= = files

 

I then get the = following:

 

coremonitor02$ mail -v = test.user@acme.com

Subject: test

test

.

EOT

test.user @acme.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future = delivery

test.user @acme.com... queued

 

Any = ideas?????

 

Cheers,

 

Greg
