hey folks...sorry I didn;t post too much info...anyway
FYI...here is a quick summary...
problem: no mail going to the exchange servers
BUT mail going to the internet...
mind you this worked last night 3 people have root...i just changed root....anyway.......
diagram
---------------------------> email was going out!
<-----------------------relay could not find exchange
servers...............
MS exchange[nyc\
\
MS exchange[chicago]-----relay [ unix ] --- internet
/
MS exchange[lon]/
I had to explicitly define an mx record in my local dns server and also set up a mailer table with my sendmail setup..although this worked last night...with the mx record being on our external dns server...like i said
3 people had root...now only me!
thanks for your help...although I should have given more info...I was in a panic when I found at no one in the world could get email....
PS thanks to sendmail.com for their help,really good support although it was funny because when I was working with them i wanted to send them a test message but their email was DOWN!
