Ok, first I must thank everyone who has tried to help me with my problems. I will paraphrase.... We have an NT domain, using Exchange for our corporate mail server. We also have a RedHat 6.2 box for our internal web server. On our intranet, we have a form that uses FormMail to generate a simple email. When any user fills out said form, the resulting email sits in the Queue, with the message "Deferred: ced-concord.com:hostname lookup failure". Any attempt to use mail clients on the webserver results in the same situation. However, if mail is sent with Pine, specifically pointing to mail.ced-concord.com as the SMTP server (in pine setup) it reaches it's destination. My question is this: 1) how can I setup sendmail to use mail.ced-concord.com as the smtp server of choice? 2)is there something in the configuration that is causing the problem? I have included /etc/resolv.conf to shed light on the DNS issues. I am not running a DNS server on the Linux box. [root@woodstock /etc]# cat resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 domain ced-concord.com Unfortunately, my experience level is not that high, but I know more than anyone else, so I am the Linux guy. Besides, we don't want anyone running M$ webservers, right? Apologies in advance if this is too simple, and thanks in advance for any help.
