I just finished installing and configuring the latest sendmail on RH9. I open up the log file and see that the email messages are hitting the Sendmail server, but they stay there and queue up. They are supposed to be forwarding to my Exchange 5.5 server. In the log i see the error message "User Unknown" right next to everyones email address. Can somebody help me......
 
I need a few more details to help you. Give us an over view of how everything is supposed to work.
Have you set up the Exchange server in your hosts file ?
Is the Exchange server listed in your relay-domains file & access file ?
Do you plan on using the virtuser database or have you set up an aliases db for the users ?
Post the entry from your sendmail.mc where you set up relaying to your internal/local exchange domain.
There are a few ways to accomplish what you want done but you need to flesh it out a bit for us.

This problem is resolved. I am in the process installing MailScanner, SpamAssassin and ClamAv. THanks
 
mrlucio79 - how did you solved the problem?
I have the same one.
 
I'd also like to know what you have done. Implementing exact same setup sendmail + mailscanner + clamav + exchange 2000.

Was it a matter of changing the settings Rhinokiller suggested? Would really appreciate some insight or maybe a link to a site that would help! Cheers
