Sendmail to excahnge server
Posted on 2007-11-28
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.

As far as I can see the problem is with the name of your linux box. It is named "tandc." which the Exchange SMTP server does not like because of the ending ".".
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.
