Actually I hate Postfix and have used Sendmail for over 15 years.
What I was trying to say was that maybe he has them confused.
I did send the OP a direct reply (forgot reply to was not set
to list) telling him make changes to sendmail.
Could you post those changes here, just for the record? Even if I don't
use sendmail now, I like to learn. :-)
One of the best places to information about sendmail is to go to:
http://sendmail.org/
I was also hoping for a bit more specific advice. For Postfix the
procedure would be:
servername: www
domain: example.com
as root:
postconf -e "myhostname = www.example.com"
postfix reload
If you've got some strange setup where you don't want to use the hostname
as HELO, you can set the helo name of the server with:
postconf -e "smtp_helo_name = mail.example.com"
postfix reload
The default of smtp_helo_name is $myhostname:
# postconf -d smtp_helo_name
smtp_helo_name = $myhostname
So usually it's not neccessary.
I tried to find the information on the sendmail.org site, but didn't find
anything useful within a few minutes. Do you have a more specific link for
basic Sendmail setup including hostname?
To setup DNS for private address space, you can find at:
http://sendmail.org/tips/private-dns/
Of course private address space was never mentioned, I'm just
assuming that he does not have valid IP and that all internal
IP addresses are being NAT'd to a valid IP address on the internet.
Judging from the hostname "www" that he used he is probably trying to send
mail from a webserver using the local Sendmail installation. So he
probably has an official IP (and hopefully correctly set up dns and
reverse dns).
