I am currently using sendmail and use smart relay to an exchange 5.5 server. In sendmail.cf i have DS192.168.1.92 which points to an exchange 5.5 server. We are upgrading to Exchange 2003 and the .92 server is going away. I tried changing to the 2003 exch server address DS192.168.1.24 and restarted everything but it now will not send. I added the IP address of the HP box to be allowed to relay from the SMTP Virtual server in Exchange System Manager. The following is the error I get when trying to send out an email. I kind of assume it has to do with DNS but why did it work with Exchange 5.5 and fail with Exchange 2003.

Make your linux box a part of a domain so that its name will be "tandc.domain.com" or whatever and I believe that your problem will be solved.
