by I am trying to configure sendmail on "abc" to send all mail
except local mail to be forwarded to "def" which will forward
it to the rest of the world. I keep getting a
"host name lookup failure" message although local mail on "abc"
works fine. Mail from "ghi" and "jkl" using "zmail" also gets
out nicely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The configuration:
----------------------ethernet 10baseT----------------
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
--------- --------- --------- ---------
| abc | | def | | ghi | | jkl |
--------- --------- --------- ---------
|
|----> to the outside world and to other local networks
"abc" is an SCO box, rel 5.0.2
"def" is a router
"ghi" and "jkl" are WIN 95 boxes
"mailq" returns the following:
Mail Queue (1 request)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------
