[cobalt-users] RaQ3: Sendmail issue still not solved

["Dave Reid" <daver1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All;

To refresh your memories, here is the issue:

When sending an email from an account on our server to an EXTERNAL email
account It does not go through and I get the following error message;

******************* begin error message ******************
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

      Subject:	Test message
      Sent:	1/28/2003 10:18 AM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

      'kpodmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx' on 1/28/2003 10:18 AM
            550 <kpodmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>... User unknown
***************** end error message *********************

Please note: cityofgp.com is NOT hosted on our server!

As you can see it is not a relaying issue. We know the address is valid
because we can successfully send to this address through another email
server such as our ISP, hotmail, etc. I have checked the main config
files, I can't see anything obviously wrong, but most of the config is
Greek to me, so there could be a dozen problems and I would not know it.
I have been trying everything I could think of, and am at a loss.

After my last posting of this problem I tried putting sendmail in test
mode as suggested. Here is what I did.

cd /usr/sbin
sendmail -bt
0,3 kpodmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Here are the results.

rewrite: ruleset   0   input: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset 199   input: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset 199 returns: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset  98   input: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset  98 returns: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset 198   input: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset 198 returns: $# local $: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset   0 returns: $# local $: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset   3   input: $# local $: kpodmore @ cityofgp . com
rewrite: ruleset   3 returns: $# local $: kpodmore @ cityofgp . Com

Beyond this I don't know what else to do, signed desperate in Grande
Prairie :-)
