Hi all,

I have a problem with an internal server sending and receiving internet email.  There are email servers (AOL for one) that will not
accept email from this server.  What are they rejecting (see below)?  The 'Return-path' or the server header information?

Here is what I have.  An internal HPUX server and LINUX email server.  I want HPUX to send internet email.

I have set sendmail on HPUX:
Dj$w.domain.com (This is what HPUX uses as it's email name)
DSLINUX (Use LINUX as a Smart Relay host.  This is required because HPUX can't resolve DNS)
DHLINUX (Use LINUX as the Mail Hub.  This will force all non-local email through LINUX)
CL root webreq webord (Deliver listed users locally.  This keeps root email on HPUX and permits HPUX to receive external email for
root)
DMdomain.com  (Masquerade as domain.com)
CE root (Do not masquerade user)

I have set on LINUX:
in /etc/mail/access was changed to insure that HPUX.domain.com is allowed to relay

/etc/aliases was setup to send
webreq at domain.com to webreq at HPUX.domain.com (WEB request for an email report)
webord at domain.com to webord at HPUX.domain.com (email order)


On HPUX, I have a daemon running (as root - no choice because of the application environment) that generates the internet email.
Two things show the original server.  The 'Return-path'  and the HPUX header information.  As seen below:

Return-path: <root at HPUX.domain.com>

I hope the details help.

What can I do?

thanks
