Hi All,

I am 'trying' to set SMART_HOST in sendmail to point to smtp-relay.gmail.com
but when looking at the /var/log/maillog its going to mx203.inbound-mx.net.
[192.110.255.243],

why???

my line from sendmail.mc
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-relay.gmail.com')
I did make in /etc/mail and service sendmail restart

This is the only SMART_HOST in the config file. I started with the default
CentOS 7.7 sendmail.mc and have not added anything else. just changed teh
SMART_HOST.

Why is mail relay to mx203.inbound-mx.net ????

Thanks. How do find out why its going to the wrong place ?
