sendmail relay to isp

English Applications

I am lost and need some help. I have configured yast/network
services/mail transfer agent to send mail to smtp.charter.net. when mail
is sent (via scalix) the /var/log/mail shows failures to ib1.charter.net
– note NOT smtp.charter.net. port 25 is CLOSED on ib1.charter.net and
open on mail.charter.net. if I run echo “/mx
charter.net”|/usr/sbin/sendmail -bt is responds only with
ib1.charter.net!! It seems to me that sendmail is trying to use
ib1.charter.net and NOT mail.charter.net. I have read and read forums on
the web, but not been able to discover how to resolve this problem. Any
help would be most appreciated. Jon

Hi
Use the ip address of the server instead :wink:

Thanks for the idea.
Changed MTA from smtp.charter.net to 209.225.8.224. Stopped and started
sendmail server.
Log still shows ib1.charter.net as relay; error is “no route to host”.
So there must be something else going on here.
