[NTLUG:Discuss] newbie needs help w/sendmail

[Richard Wolfe]

Thanks for the info, all. When I got around to looking at maillog, I
could see that it was indeed attempting to deliver the email, but was
typically being rejected. So it's weird that it works at all from
another similar Linux box that I've got set up.

In my particular case, I really just wanted to be able to send email to
an MS Exchange server on the same network. That turned out to be a
separate problem altogether (hostname of Exchange server specified
incorrectly).

Thanks,
Richard
