I have a system running sendmail that is behind a firewall (private
network).  On the outside of the firewall is our mail server.  I have
already configured the firewall to accept mail and relay it to the mail
server where it can be sent to the outside world; I have verified this
works by telneting (from the intenral system) to the firewall on port 25
and manually sending a message.

The problem is that sendmail doesn't seem to be forwarding the mail to
the fierwall properly.

In the sendmail.cf file there is the line DSfirewall  (firewall is
defined in the /etc/host file as the firewalls internal IP address)

If I try to manually send a message and watch what it is doing (ex:
sendmail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null) the system just sits
there doing nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

 - Doug
