Sendmail Issues AIX 4.3.3

[johndrake]

Hi All,

I've just modified the sendmail.cf per instructions given in a previous thread. I am trying to send out the email to our Lotus Notes server without any luck. The
messages just seem to queue up. When I check the contents of the queue, here is what I get:

# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bp
There are 12 requests in the mail queue

Here is the sendmail.cf file changes that I made:


DwNotesServer
#DmYourDomainName
#Cw localhost $w $?m$w.$m$. YourHostAliases
#Cm $m YourOtherDomainNames
Cwlocalhost
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
#Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw
.
.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
# Relay host to forward outgoing mail not in the local domain to.
# To forward ALL mail to this relay host, uncomment the appropriate
# rule in ruleset 0, as indicated by the ruleset's comments.
#DSmailer:relayhostname
DSNotesServer

The Lotus Notes Server is named "NotesServer" and it is in
the /etc/host file. I have also verified that I can telnet
to port 25.

Am I missing something?

Thank you,

-Joe

To me this looks like your notes server is not defined in you dns. What happens if you do nslookup notesserver?
