I just moved from FC2 to FC3 and I think I have my mail sendmail config
just as it was for FC2. Sendmail receives mail for local delivery just fine, but outgoing mail does not send.
I use my ISPs SMTP server as a smart host. In sendmail.mc:
define(`SMART_HOST',`relay.plus.net')
'mailq' shows a bunch of mail not being sent due to host name lookup failures:

<accounts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
iACB9XVo003702 8287 Fri Nov 12 11:12 MAILER-DAEMON
(Deferred: Name server: relay.plus.net: host name lookup fail)
It might also be worth trying:
define(`SMART_HOST',`relay:[relay.plus.net]')
Paul.
It works! Thanks so much.
why does it work though? what does the relay:[] thing do?
