How close am I with getting sendmail going.
Hello,
I have a Linux server running my Web,php and Database. I have some
forms that when filled out I need them emailed to certain people. Right
now just internal. This computer does not have DNS running. My company
has an email system (NT running I believe Back office) for internal and
external email.
I attempted on setting sendmail up via linuxconf.
under configure basic information I did as follows:
Present your system name: web.lacksdesign.com (no DNS but this is the
host and domain name known by this computer)
mailserver: corpmailserver
Mail Gateway: here I put the ip of the gateway (router) that is between
me the mail server
I submit a form and view the contents of /var/spool/mque (something like
that) and I see the mail be created an sent. Then root receives mail
saying "Returned Mail: host unknown (Name Server: 192.1.1.100 hostname
lookup fail"
the 192.1.1.100 ip is the mail gateway I entered.
If I do not have the mail gateway ip entered the mail just sits never
leaves. Which reminds me is there a sendmail log file to help trouble
shoot this?
any suggestions?
Thank you
