    stopsrc -s sendmail

    made my edit

    then: startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q15"

    make sure you do a stop and start and not a refresh.

    Subject: [aix-l] smtp relay

    Greetings,

    I want to setup a system so that it uses the SMTP server of another box for
    sending mail that is not in the local domain.

    From what I've read it seems all I had to do was add the
    "DSmailer:smtp.methodisthealth.org" to the /etc/sendmail.cf file, where
    smtp.methodisthealth.org is the relay.

    I have restarted sendmail. However, when I do my tests I see that my host
    is still trying to go out of the firewall directly to the smtp server of the
    domain I was sending email too. Totally ignoring the relay I setup.

    Have I missed a step? This is for aix4.3.3 and aix5.1
