Thanks, Dave. The relay values did the trick for Sendmail accepting the
mail. I finally got Majordomo to *not* send the "Majordomo Abort"
messages. I used chmod to allow everyone write access to the files that
majordomo was complaining about. (When I ran ./wrapper config-test).
Having this "fixed", I turned my attention to Sendmail. When I looked at
the mail log in /var/log directory I see where sendmail is trying to send
the message out:
Feb 29 00:39:15 jclx2 sendmail[1812]: XAA01307:
to=<majordomo@julianscorner.com>
, delay=01:13:40, xdelay=00:01:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=julianscorner.com.
[151.2
00.26.75], stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with julianscorner.com.
Feb 29 00:39:15 jclx2 sendmail[1812]: MAA00898: to=<majordomo@happyhourdc.com>,
delay=12:02:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=happyhourdc.com.,
stat=Defe
rred: Connection timed out with happyhourdc.com.
I think that I know where this is coming from but I am not sure how to fix
it. In my DNS I alias the domain to the web server (running on a different
machine) by doing a simple @ IN A 151.200.26.75
I think sendmail is picking this up instead of the mx record. Do you know
what else I could try?
Thanks again.
