I can sympathise with you - I've been setting up a similar scenario at work. I buckled and bought the Bat Book 3rd Edition in the end which does cover the new submit.mc after a brief read it all makes perfect sense. The other thing I did was load up all the source rpm's there's some pretty good documentation in there from the guy at RedHat. There are essentially two mail queues now the submit one and the standard sendmail one. If you want any further information give us a holler back.

Subject: sendmail problem

I am having problems getting sendmail to forward mail to our exchange server.

I have had no problems with this until release 9.

When I send mail using the -v switch I get the following.

        [barrys@xxxxxxxxx barrys]$ echo "test" | mail -v  barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        sxhealth.co.nz: Name server timeout
        barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx... Transient parse error -- message queued for future deli
        very
        barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx queued

The hosts file and resolv.conf file are configured correctly.
I have no problems pinging sxhnoex2.sxhealth

I am using the following 2 options in sendmail.cf

        define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp:sxhnoex2.sxhealth')dnl
        FEATURE(`nocanonify')dnl

I am doing the changes in /etc/mail

I do notice there is a new config file submit.cf , does this have to be modified?

I have spent ages trying different things , searching and reading.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
