Re: Sendmail Problem

[Nicholas Fitzgerald]

Well, that's the rub. IceSource.com is a web domain hosted on this very server. The mail server, mail.icesource.com, is on another box entierly. Nowhere am I telling sendmail to go to icesource.com, in fact, it's the domain sending the email to sendmail. I think this points me in the right direction. If I create a DNS entry pointing at this server, and direct sendmail to it, then I should be ok.  I think!

The last log entry is the key:

Note that the connection was refused by "icesource.com". I assume that is
your primary mail server. Foe wome reason it is not accepting SMTP
connections from your Linux box (dns).

In fact, icesource.com is not accepting SMTP connections from external
hosts either. Additionally, it does not seem to have an mx record, which
it should if it is going to provide SMTP service..
