Look at the output. Is there a cname looking back at it's self?
Also take a close look at your sendmail.cw file. If your fqdn there.
Next look at routing to the box. Telnet from another box to your port 25.
type this:
helo fqdn
mail from: yourname@fqdn.com
rcpt to: root@fqdn.com
data
subject: Test message
Testing 123
.
Ok this will send at test message.
Also ping your mail server address is there two ping back?
Tell me what does not work.
The next stuff get real out there.
Enjoy,
Richard
