hi
i'm seriously struggling with setting up a network at home - so much for ambition !!
i have a fedora core 5 box acting as a PDC with a RAID 1 array and am using mdadm to monitor the array
i need to send mdadm alerts via email but can't get it to work ............ here's the setup
PDC
static IP: 192.168.0.80
hostname: boomslang
i have a Smoothwall box (internal IP 192.168.0.1) which does DHCP for the rest of the network
to test the sendmail (which mdadm uses for the alerts) i use
echo "testing neill mail" | mail -s "testing" neill
(neill is a user on the PDC)
in /etc/aliases i have the entry
neill: [email protected]
sysadmin is set up as a mailbox at my ISP and i can send and receive fine from that mailbox (using t'bird from an XP machine)
when i run the sendmail test as root ithe PDC i get a 550 error as below: (email addresses edited)
