In my sendmail.cf, I have the following:

# To forward ALL mail to this relay host, uncomment the appropriate
# rule in ruleset 0, as indicated by the ruleset's comments.
#DSmailer:relayhostname
DSmailrelay

Perhaps you could change your DS entry to "DSsmtp.methodisthealth.org" and
try again. I don't know if that's the issue or not, but it works on my
systems.

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
