Alexander </pre> </blockquote> So after your help with getting me started initially. I found another FAQ (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0009.html">http://www.cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0009.html</a>) that gave me a step by step of how to set up smtp relay for sendmail. The additional steps I took were as follows: Added the following to the sendmail.mc file: <code class="screen"> define(`SMART_HOST', `your-smtp-server') FEATURE(authinfo)dnl define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587') Updated the sendmail.cf file </code><code class="screen"> m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf Defined my account info in the AuthInfo file: </code><code class="screen"> AuthInfo:<your-smtp-server> "U:<your-smtp-user>" "P:<your-smtp-password>" "M:DIGEST-MD5" Im not sure if the "M:" is correct since the server that I would be logging into would be over TLS port 587 and usually just does a login challenge and nothing more. I don't know if I just need to specify login. Updated the authinfo.db file </code><code class="screen"></code><code class="screen"> makemap hash /etc/mail/authinfo < /etc/mail/authinfo</code> <code class="screen"> Created a userdb for header rewriting </code><code class="screen">user:mailname <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:foo@bar.com">foo@bar.com</a></code> Created the userdb.db file <code class="screen"> makemap btree /etc/mail/userdb.db < /etc/mail/userdb</code> Sendmail, Tested, and got the following output: [root@FC4FW mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv root@localhost root@localhost... deliverable: mailer local, user root [root@FC4FW mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bv <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com">lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com">lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com</a>... deliverable: mailer relay, host foo.barr.com, user <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:user@foo.com">user@foo.com</a> This would leave me to belive that this was successful from what I see in the output. But then I take a look at /var/log/maillog and find the following: Feb 14 18:37:04 localhost sendmail[12272]: k1EEWlrh009414: to=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com"><lovell.mcilwain@gmail.com></a>, ctladdr=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:root@localhost.localdomain"><root@localhost.localdomain></a> (0/0), delay=09:04:17, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=945174, relay=foo.bar.com [11.222.333.444], dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable Feb 14 18:37:04 localhost sendmail[12272]: k1EEWlrh009414: k1ENb3vE012272: sender notify: Service unavailable I thought the tutorial has gotten me closer to where I wanted to be but can anyone else tell me what else Im missing to get this to work properly? The things I noticed off the top of my head were: 1.The authentication method is wrong but I can't see any documentation that states that the entry "M:login" will work. 2. It still looks like the return mail is showing as <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:root@localhost.localdomain">root@localhost.localdomain</a> when I thought the usersdb.db file was supposed to take care of this. Did I need to restart sendmail or re run the m4 command to update that there is now a usersdb.db in existance? 3. Could this be an issue of not specifying the port number correctly for sendmail to talk with the relay server properly? I know this mail was a bit lengthy but any help is appreciated :) </body> </html>
