sorry for my bad english ;-(
Scalix 11.3 run on SLES 10.0. Scalix Server must use a Smarthost with Postfix to deliver outgoing (Internet) mail. In FAQ have I read, "use sendmail.mc and m4 to generate a new sendmail.cf (no edit sendmail.cf per hand). I can't find the sendmail.mc (in Directory /etc/mail/ is a "linux.mc". I belife that this File is generate by SuSE and not Scalix.
How can i generate a sendmail.mc File with the actual Scalix Sendmail configuration, or is it ok, when i edit the sendmail.cf by hand and add the Line "DS...."?

You can edit sendmail.cf by hand and change the DS parameter. However, SLES's config tools may undo this for you in the future. I suggest you use the SLES configurator to do this instead.

thank you for your help,
ok, i have sendmail.cf edit by hand and can send mails from commandline. The smarthost deliver this mails with host and domainname (eq root@scalixserver.mydomain.com) This is not correct (Masquerade hostname is need) But that`s not the first Problem. Scalix users can not send external mail. Their mails go in the drafts folder (not relay). omshut, omrc, /etc/init.d sendmail restart ..not help
omrc output: Sendmail Interface Stopped. Is this the cause?

You don't have SMTP Auth set up correctly if mail go to the drafts folder. There's quite a few threads about that.
