I have a CentOS server configured with sendmail and none of my messages seem to be sent.<br />

I am looking at the maillog fiel and see this error &quot;Jul 16 13:38:43 fmsubbnix sendmail[1140]: n6GHcgRE001026: n6GHchRE001140: DSN: Host unknown (Name server: outgoing.earthlink.net: host not found)&quot;<br />

My guess is the the parameter &quot;Name server: outgoing.earthlink.net&quot; is incorrectly configured. &nbsp; I probably need to use the company's smtp relay server. &nbsp;Where is this value located?<br />

Sendmail not working on CentOS

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
