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
