I am running 3 centos 5.2 servers and I have configured the server for
forward all messages to root to be emailed to me via .
forward rule.
This is working fine on two of the servers but not on the third.
I have also tried copying the mail config files from the backup server and placing them on the file server and restarting sendmail. I also removed and reinstalled sendmail via yum but the results are the same.
I am not sure what the issue could be they are all standard centos installs.
Here is an example from the backup server which is working and the fileserver which isn't I am also going to include the mail log.
