Forwarding sendmail

[Bluedoor]

Hi,

I'm running sendmail 8.11 on redhat linux and I'm trying to
configure sendmail to forward mail to a smtp server.

My mail server is "onsmail"

I configured "Smart" relay host
DSonsmail

But all mail that I send is going into queue. I can telnet to onsmail on port 25.

The mail queue says
(host map: lookup (yahoo.com): deferred)

What am I missing ? Could someone help !

I was able to resolve the problem. Enabling smart relay in sendmail 8.11 by itself does not work.

Create a file service.switch in /etc/mail and put "hosts file" in it. Your /etc/hosts should have the name/ip of your smtp server. And enabling smart relay will push your mail to the smtp server.

cheers !
