I think you might need to remove the second DS. So if it currently looks
like this:
DSsmtp.methodisthealth.org
DS
Change it to this:
DSsmtp.methodisthealth.org
I think the blank DS is causing your issue in this instance.
HTH,
Drew

Subject: Re: smtp relay (still broke)
I think I did have it in there wrong, with the "mailer" prefix. However, it
still does not work. My current setting is now:
DSsmtp.methodisthealth.org
DS
When I send an email to some external address I get a return email that
shows all the failures trying to get out the firewall which it shouldn't be
doing if the relay was correct.
Am I supposed to digest the sendmail.cf or something? It simply seems to be
ignoring the statement altogether.

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.

Subject: 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
