Sendmail has been moving mail around the planet for many years. There are only 2 basic things that need to be done to a stock RedHat (or clone) install to make mail flow:
- Remove the restriction in the sendmail.mc of only sending mail through the
local loop interface. 2) Make sure the machine has a resolvable FQDN. If only sending mail locally in a network, it just has to resolve on your nameservers, but it has to resolve somewhere.
And therein may be some clues? Make sure /etc/resolv.conf is right, you may resolve *completely* from /etc/hosts (or any ldap/yp/nis/...? that is running in your net?) or you may have a local bind that needs configuring as a (non-)caching DNS server?
/var/log/maillog can be your (very verbose) friend (with whom I am empathetic! *chuckle*).
