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
