Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI am trying to setup sendmail to relay e-mail to a third party. Is there a basic setup for this. I have setup what I think is correct but get a message:
Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed <194.0.174.190>
What does this mean ???

All i would suggest is to use exim instead of sendmail as its easy to configure
to install exim4 type this command apt-get install exim4

HI
The ip lookup shows its internal ip address so to relay to third party you need external address and also check for the ports its going through in iptables
