[rhn-users] sendmail-8.13.1-2

[Susanne Hemker]

Hi everybody,
I have upgraded one system to RHEL4 which includes sendmail-8.13.1-2.
Sendmail should be configured to just send mail and not receive any so I
removed the "dnl" section  in  /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and replaced
"smtp.your.provider" with my relay server.  The line looked like this :
define(`SMART_HOST'',`my.relay.server')
Trying to send mail from this client gets me the following error:
sendmail -v shemker2 at jhmi.edu
shemker2 at jhmi.edu... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...

When I do the same thing on a machine that is running RHEL3 with
sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.1 the mail is send without any problems.
Any ideas what has changed between sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.1 and
sendmail-8.13.1-2. and how I could fix this?

Thanks,

Susanne
