greetings all…
having an issue with sendmail not sending my emails out (voicemail files being sent as email). This has come about after a jump to a new ISP which has been blocking emails (was working perfectly prior-to)…
So I just set up with DNSexit.com to do DNS relay, and i’ve made all the requisite changes per their instructions (http://www.dnsexit.com/support/mailrelay/sendmail.html )
however, i’m still not getting the vmails sent… that being said, i’m a bit of a rube in Linux stuff…
when I cat: cat /var/spool/mail/root
this is the tail of I see:
Stopping fail2ban: WARNING ‘pidfile’ not defined in ‘Definition’. Using default one: ‘/var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.pid’

any ideas or recommendations as to what I’m doing, and how I could fix this?
thx!!
Followup info:
from DNSExits instructions on changing Sendmail:
For any version of Sendmail
- Set your authorization informations by adding following line to /etc/mail/access file:
AuthInfo:relay.dnsexit.com “U:USERNAME” “P:PASSWORD” "M:PLAIN"
Note: Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with the DNSEXIT mail relay username and PASSWORD.
**I did this, fully edited… - Add following lines to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (check if apropriate settings doesn’t already exists):
define(SMART_HOST',relay.dnsexit.com’)
FEATURE(`access_db’)
**I did this, fully edited…
- Update sendmail.cf and access.db files:
cd /etc/mail
m4 sendmail.mc >sendmail.cf
makemap hash access <access
**I did this, fully edited…
- Reload or restart sendmail:
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
**I did this, BUT, i get the following error:
Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ]
Shutting down sendmail: [FAILED]
Starting sendmail: 554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 39: unknown configuration line “
”
[FAILED]
Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
is this my point of failure?
