Background
==========
I have an RS6000 at work running AIX 4.2.1.  It is part of a network
largely of NT machines. Consequently there is no reliable DNS.  The
Sendmail config is exactly as AIX installs it.

problem
=======
I want to be able to make the RS6K relay emails (non local emails that
is) to the organisation's MS Exchange server for onward transmission[1]
What I eventually want to achieve is send a cron generated
success/failure message regarding back up status to the exch server for
onward transmission.

in sendmail.cf there the following line.

#DSmailer:relayhostname

In my innocence, I thought that If I change that to 

DSmailer:MSExchangeservername and add a hosts table entry for the
exchange server, it would work (after recompiling sendmail.cf)..... It
doesn't :(

I now get all sorts of errors

<quote>
554 buildaddr: mailer is not a known mailer.: A remote host refused an
attempted  connect operation. 554 /dead.letter... cannot open: The file
access permissions do not 
allow the specified action.
</quote>


I don't know which remote host it is?  I don't think that it's the exch
server as I can telnet in quite happily and issue SMTP "by hand" and
cause mail to end up in my Exch mailbox.  I can't do it via Sendmail.
I'm a little confused the permissions error as I was logged in as root
at the time.

What else do I need to do (or where else do I need to look to solve the
problem?)

Amy help gratefully received,

Thanks

[1] getting the network folk to config the Exch Server to relay the mail
on again is step 2 :)
