Ok. I have scalix loaded on my firewal box (fedora 5). I can send mail internally to anyone who has an account of the box. I can receive mail from the internet. But I am not able to send mail to anyone on the internet.
I have sendmail set to not run as a daemon.
Any idea's.

1> Check whether your firewall is blocking the smtp port, smtp port should be allowed to both sned and receive data inorder this to work
2> Are you using a local ip or Internet IP ? Inoder to have domains send you mail you should have Internet IP.

the firewall is not blocking the mail being sent in or out.
The server can send mal to the internet.
The strange thing; however, I can send mail to anybody who has a scalix acount (within the domain).

If I read your first post correctly, did you disable sendmail? If so, that's your problem - Scalix needs an MTA to send email out.

I disable sendmail running as a daemon.
I edited the /etc/sysconfig/sendmail file and changed:
daemon= yes to daemon = no
I noticed when I did not change this setting smtp relay show to be idle

Mmm ... SMTP Relay's supposed to be "Started". You can use omsetsvc -a smtpd y if it doesn't come up after an omrc.
To verify, make sure that lsof -ni:25 shows sendmail listening on 127.0.0.1 and omsmtpd on the IP address of the machine (none should be listening on * ).
But I am glad you got it to work.
