Re: how to debug sendmail relaying denied problems?

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

You can do the hardcore way:

Open a terminal:

telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25

Trying 192.168.1.100...

Connected to 192.168.1.100.

Escape character is '^]'.

220 eric-yangs-computer.local ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.9/8.12.6; Wed, 23 Apr 2003 12:48:13 -0700 (PDT)

mail from: aada57@xxxxxxxxxxx

250 2.1.0 aada57@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sender ok

rcpt to: eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx

550 5.7.1 eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [192.168.1.103]

If it says ok here.  Type:

data

.

quit

Then you know you have it right or wrong.

regards,

Eric
