So..._this_ is how my server is managing to locate the my company's Email Server and forward mails from the Linux Server to my company email server.. And I thought it was some _ghost_ :)
You can read quite a bit about MX records in the bind documentation or on the ISC's site (the creators of BIND) at http://www.isc.org.
PS: Where can I find/locate this "smart host" setting? which .conf file?
Smart host is configured in the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file in standard RH configs. Having modified the mc file, you use that and the m4 tool to create a sendmail.cf file. Having BACKED UP YOUR OLD SENDMAIL.CF, you then replace /etc/sendmail.cf with the new one you just generated, and restart sendmail.
Instructions for this (simple ones) are at the very top of /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.
P.S. Please delete old and unnecessary text when you post, OK? Every time I read one of your messages, I have to read through 100 lines of earlier messages in the same thread (which I had already read), and when I answer you I have to eliminate all that crud myself. Multiply that effect by several thousand people and you get a reaction... PLEASE trim unnecessary stuff from your posts. Thanks!
