[ZendTo] Issues with sending to external users

Brian,
Sounds like you are sending mail directly to Google, rather than going
via your organisation's SMTP relay. That will certainly cause the
symptoms you are seeing. And it looks like your domainname (as far as
sendmail is concerned) is wrong too.
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
Look for a line mentioning
SMART_HOST
You want a line that says something like
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.utoronto.ca')dnl
The 1st and 3rd quotes should be back-quotes like `
The 2nd and 4th quotes should be normal single-quotes like '
In your line
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `zendto.host.ca')dnl
that really isn't the domain name you want, as it won't have an SPF
record or anything. Set it to `utoronto.ca' instead of `zendto.host.ca'.
then
cd /etc/mail
make
service sendmail restart
Then do a command like
sendmail -bv jules at zend.to
to see what your sendmail would do with an email addressed to
jules at zend.to. It should say that it will relay it to smtp.utoronto.ca
(or whatever full host name you put in there).
Then you should have some more luck.
Cheers,
Jules.
