I cannot get the default OpenBSD 4.5 sendmail to forward an email sent to root to a remote mailbox on a system configured as a firewall (multi-homed). This is easy from my other OpenBSD systems, but this one system just refuses to work. All of my OpenBSD systems are very vanilla. Take note in the facts below that the bad system recognizes [email protected] as a local user even though it isn't.
The facts: 1. There are no changes to /etc/mail.rc, /etc/mailer.conf, or /etc/mail/* on either good or bad systems. The systems are running on identical hardware and were installed with the same sets. The only big difference is that the bad server is using both network cards for NAT and fire walling and the good server is only using one card. 2. I am using /root/.forward to redirect the mail. This file contains one line: [email protected] 3. I can connect normally to the remote mail server via: telnet mail.aha-net.org 25 4.
