define(`SMART_HOST', `bhost1.broadjam.net')
I am still timing out which leads me to believe it is a true issue of timing between the servers and NOT improper configuration on the box. If i understand everything now by uncommenting the SMART_HOST define and giving it our true mail server this should relay all mail generated and coming from and coming into the server to the actual mail server yes?
I also now only have sendmail_enabl="YES" in rc.conf
am i way off base here? ken; On Feb 28, 2005, at 10:10 AM, Ken Hawkins wrote:

alright I found an old blurb about handling a scenario similar to mine:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-July/ 014468.html
it essentially says:
If you want to get FreeBSD to forward your email to the MS-Exchange server, you have to:
1. make sure sendmail is running. (ie remove sendmail_* lines from /etc/rc.conf)
Put sendmail_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
2. # cd /etc/mail 3. # cp freebsd.mc `hostname`.mc
That's doing things the hard way and might miss things the Makefile will do for you. Just:
# cd /etc/mail # make
4. edit `hostname`.mc and uncomment the following line:
define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server')
5. replace `your.isp.mail.server' with your Exchange server.
Or any mail server you are allowed to smarthost through.
6. # make 7. # make install 8. # sh /etc/rc.sendmail restart
Should be:
6. make all install restart
which combines steps 7 and 8. 6 was already done above.
can anyone point me toward what I require to create a domain file for our <box name> in the /usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/ area?
Let /etc/mail/Makefile help you by using make as shown above.
did those steps:
1 cd /etc/mail
edited freebsd.mc and changed:
2 make
this generated:
cp freebsd.mc web1.prosoundweb.com.mc
/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 web1.prosoundweb.com.mc > web1.prosoundweb.com.cf
m4: web1.prosoundweb.com.mc at line 49: include(/usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/prosoundweb.com.m4): No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
this is still looking for a prosoundweb.com.m4 file in the domain area. is there a step I am missing somewhere?
I copied generic.m4 to prosoundweb.com.m4 and went through 'make all install restart'
and I am still timing out talking to the host:
Operation timed out with bhost1.broadjam.net.
so obviously I am not done here....
