smtp with one host
« on: July 07, 2003, 07:00:29 PM »
Hello,

I have the following setup (mitel 5.6):
small intranet server (192.168.76.204 )connected to company wide LAN. In this LAN there is a mailserver (192.168.130.30) that accepts SMTP traffic.
When I telnet to the mailserver on port 25 I can send mail manually.
now I want the intranet server to be able to sent mail from forms etc to people in the company. However since we have a central mailserver there is no dns specified in the LAN. This means that when I sent a mail from the intranet server to leeuwisn@avebe.com the intranet server asks for an IP to sent the mail to but never gets a response so the mail never arrives. Adding the dns entry on the servers is not an option because of non-cooperative sysops......

The solution I figured out was adding a line to the /etc/hosts file saying
192.168.130.30  avebe.com

but this isn't working, does anybody has any clues or idears on this ??

Thanx in advance
Niels
