I have a customer that I inherited running Red Hat Linux ES 3 that wants to send email from the Linux side.
I need to be able to send email using port 587.
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon)
The Windows support person says smtp must use port 587.
SMTP: smtp.emailarray.com Port: 587
Login: info@computerohio.com
/etc/services
smtp 25/tcp mail
smtp 25/udp mail
submission 587/tcp msa # mail message submission
submission 587/udp msa # mail message submission
Since 587 is used by submission can smtp also be changed to 587 in the /etc/services file?
netstat -tanp | grep send | grep LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 483/sendmail: acce
The Windows support person also says the following:
The Windows server is running DNS, so you may want to change the DNS servers to:
10.10.10.176
8.8.8.8
It should resolve "smtp.emailarray.com" to 69.28.212.198.
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Below is an entry from /var/log/maillog:

, mailer=esmtp, pri=33202, relay=mailin-01.mx.aol.com. [64.12.88.132], dsn=5.0.0
, stat=Service unavailable
I did not install the Red Hat Linux on this system and not local to the equipment.
I do not have access to the console so everything I do needs to be from the command line.
One issue found from the original install was that the hostname was set as
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
Thank you for any help you can provide.
