Hi I found the issue. I had to add a route like
Route -q add 127.0.0.1 -netmask 255.0.0.0 localhost => and after this, the box is able to send mails !!! Next issue if someone has an idea: Interface1 = dmz one with the mail server of the company Interface2 = Public IP, which is also the IP of my MX server => I can send mails locally, but not to my mail server. I'm using sendmail (I don't need more) I try to change the host IP via the /etc/hosts file (with the DMZ IP Address) but the system still try to reach the real IP, means to go out of the interface2; and this is not working.
