To setup email relay server using sendmail use following steps:
- Install sendmail on relay server. Ensure that incoming and outgoing connections to TCP/25 are allowed. Further DNS queries for MX / A records should work correctly on this machine.
- yum -y install sendmail
- Enable on startup
- service sendmail start
- chkconfig sendmail on
-
- On CentOS 7 'systemctl start sendmail; systemctl enable sendmail'
- Allow access to specific clients by editing '/etc/mail/access'. After adding new IPs using CONNECT for RELAY, do
- cd /etc/mail
- make
- service sendmail reload
-
- for new settings to take effect.
- On CentOS7 use 'systemctl reload sendmail' instead
- On clients mention SMART_HOST as FQDN of relay server. In case of postfix clients set relayhost to FQDN of this server
