Hello Willem,

What does the /etc/mail/mailertable and /etc/mail/local-host-names
look like?

If I'm not mistaken, the local-host-names should not contain
health.gov.za but mailertable should contain somthing like
the following.

health.gov.za smtp:mail.health.gov.za

You need to run the makemap command after you've updated the
mailertable file.

makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable < /etc/mail/mailertable

Hi,
The machine top.health.gov.za 196.15.225.8
is the secondary relay for our domain, health.gov.za.
It worked fine running rh 7.1.
I ran up2 date on it to update the sendmail after the 3 March exploit became known.
I kept the old files as is in /etc/mail.


It now behaves as follows:
When mail is sent to the main mailserver directly, everything works.
If mail is sent to the relay top.health.gov.za it gives 550 511 user unknown.
Where should i start looking?
The out going mail from the mmain mail server stil
goes out through top.health.gov.za.
