Sendmail setup

[Midiean]

I'm setting up a sendmail server on fedora core 3 and of course i'm having a little trouble.

I am unable to connect to the mail server via outlook. my current network configuration is a windows 2k server that is acting as a pdc. I've set the new server to replicate all the information in my other sendmail server accept the domain information, which matches the new domain we are moving to.

I am using linuxconf to setup the domain for the system and all the send mail configurations.

Please help, I am rather new to linux and really need some help with this. THanks

Don't use Linuxconf it's broken.

what is wrong with linuxconf to make it not work

 

[Rhinokiller]

Linuxconf and its module "mailconf" are wel known to be broken, plus they are based on very old rulesets from 8.8.7
Don't edit the sendmail.cf yourself .... it's a nightmare. Instead edit the sendmail.mc file and then build your cf from there.

Read the FAQ on sendmail.org, give it a try yourself and then post any questions you have. Also get yourself a copy of the Bat Book 3rd edition. It's the Sendmail "bible".
