    Exclamation Outgoing email SMTP address

    When a user attempts to send an email from an ERP database application on my RHEL v4 server some receiptients are not getting the emails.

    I noticed on my Exchange server in the SMTP logs that the emails are going out as:

    username "at" servername.domain.com

    How can i get rid of teh servername since that is not a part of my registered domain name?

    How are the email addresses stored in the database? How is the ERP application formatting that data? In any case, I doubt that the problem is with the Exchange server, but likely with either the data in the database, or a bug in the ERP application itself.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Email addresses are added by the user when they want to send an email, example sending an invoice or receipt to a customer.

    The ERP application is pulling the domain information from SendMail I believe.

    You are saying the users add the TO addresses? Are the Exchanges logs showing the FROM address as you are describing?

    The application adds the users name to the outgoing email.

    Yes Exchange shows the From address as I described. Looks liks Sendmail is sending the emails out directly instead of going through our Exchange server. That is what I am wanting to have it setup as. If it needs to be a relay that it fine but if it can be like a client such as Outlook, that would work as well.

    I would post a link to a site that I think will help you, but the forum won't allow me to post links. Do a google search for "sendmail as client smtp auth". The 4th result is what I think might help you.
