[ILUG] null client configuration for sendmail

[ILUG] null client configuration for sendmail

I have not read the full thread but I did reread your orginal request.

If you are trying to get the local sendmail to send all mail to
someone at walter.com to the exchange server server2.walter.com instead
of to the local mailer then do the following

sendmail.mc file

FEATURE('use_cw_file')
FEATURE('mailertable')

recompile your sendmail.cf file

edit /etc/mail/local-host-names and make sure it contains all local
alises but not walter.com
Example

localhost
fedora.walter.com
127.0.0.1
etc,etc

This removes walter.com from class{W}. To verify sendmail -bt and type
$=w. Make sure walter.com is not listed. Ctrl-D to exit

To tell sendmail what to do with mails for domain walter.com edit
/etc/mail/mailertable file and add
walter.com   [esmtp]:server02.walter.com

subsitute the correct mailer and mailer server if I have it wrong

cd to /etc/mail and type make

to verify type

sendmail -bv test at walter.com

It should return deliverable what mailer its using what server it will
connect to and the user address

Hope this helps

Ger
