Try editing and adding that line to the file "submit.cf", not "sendmail.cf".

I simply edited the sendmail.cf file and changed the DS directive to point to this specific (non MX record) server. The sendmail service is not running (corporate standard) on the RH7.2 servers. I'm now trying to do the same thing on RHEL3 and am not having any luck. All mail is being directed back to the loopback address (mail -v XXX@xxxxxxx) = XXX@xxxxxxxxxx Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay... XXX@xxxxxxxxxx Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] When I telnet to the mail relay on port 25 the manual mail successfully goes through. Stumped... Looking for some ideas.
