sendmail queueing but not sending.

[jxfish2]

sendmail appears to be configured properly, but any mail I try to send using the mailx command just queues up. It's not sending anything out.

I have entries for the mail server in /etc/hosts.

I have Dj and DS entries in sendmail.cf

( I had to create a Dj (DNS) entry, as this server isn't registered in DNS.

I have 4 other servers where mailx / sendmail is working just fine, and I compared all of these entries against the other boxes.

Again, the test mail that I tried to send is going into the mail queue, but it's just sitting there...

What could I be missing?

Thanks in advance, and have a great weekend...

Hi,


Do a test mail "echo test|sendmail -v userid@domain.com. What is the error message ?

Do a telnet to your relay server with port 25 : &quot;telnet <relay_hostname or relay_ip_address> 25&quot; and see whether it works.

cheers,

Mok

Are you behind a firewall? If so are the ports open?
