OK, I am trying to do something similar here and am having problems.
background:
I am using a dialup connection to mail.dingoblue.net.au from a
standalone box (sagan)
If I try to use a MUA with sendmail I get the following error:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
shaunbranden@dingoblue.net.au
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.optusnet.com.au.:
>>> MAIL From:<entropy@sagan.tpn> SIZE=56
<<< 501 <entropy@sagan.tpn>... Sender domain must exist
501 shaunbranden@dingoblue.net.au... Data format error
So from the advice below, I added
define(`SMART_HOST',`<mail.dingoblue.net.au>')dnl
to the sagan.cf file, made it and mv'd it to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
(I also added:
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`accept_unqualified_senders')dnl
from the documentation)
I then rebooted (because I could not find the process to kill -HUP) and
tried it again. this time I get:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
shaun@lost.net.au
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 shaun@lost.net.au... Host unknown (Name server:
<mail.dingoblue.net.au: host not found)
Any ideas on what I should try next?
