Trying to configure sendmail in Debian
-
I'm trying to configure sendmail on our Debian Linux server to send mail, using our Exchange server as a relay. I'm a total noob at all of this.
We can send mails to internal addresses (for example, if our domain name is ourdomain.com, the server can send mail to bob@ourdomain.com) with no problem.
We can't send mail to external addresses like bob@gmail.com or bob@hotmail.com. Here's an example of what I get in /var/log/mail.log
Mar 7 14:45:29 newton sm-mta[17159]: r27JjOw1017159: to=, ctladdr= (0/0), delay=00:00:05, xdelay=00:00:05, mailer=relay, pri=30455, relay=webmail.ourdomain.ws. [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], dsn=5.7.1, [b]stat=User unknown[/b]
Sometimes it says [b]stat=Unable to relay[/b] and sometimes [b]stat=Sent[/b], but in every case the emails are never received.
Also, I get this:
[code]root@newton:/etc/mail# sendmail -bv user9999@gmail.com
user9999@gmail.com... deliverable: mailer relay, host webmail.ourdomain.ws, user user9999@gmail.com[/code]
Does that mean the user9999@gmail.com is unknown to newton, or unknown to Exchange?
Is there something in Exchange we need to configure?
I have no idea what to configure. Please help. Thanks!
