Are you using mail to both receive and send, or only send? If you're using it to only send mail, then do the following: Go to /etc/mail, here you should find a file called submit.mc Edit this file and update the parameter and add something like this anywhere to the file: define('SMART_HOST','relay.domain.com')dnl And if there's an entry containing something like 'SMTP', '127.0.0.1' etc, comment it out by preceding it with dnl (or removing it or whatever). Then type the following: # m4 submit.mc > submit.cf (You'll need to ensure two packages are installed for this, sendmail-cf and m4) If you're using sendmail to receive mail, submit sendmail.mc/cf for each submit.mc/cf above, then restart sendmail. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kalyan Sundar Sent: Tuesday, 15 September 2009 10:58 p.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: sendmail configuration Hi All, I am trying to configure sendmail on Linux server.
