Give the output of:
telnet relayservername 25
.............
thanks for your reply Susindram
root@sshldb # telnet relayservername 25
relayservername: Unknown host
kindly let me know where to define the mail host apart from /etc/host file
Hi Srinath,
Please give your relay server name.I guess your relay server name is mailhost.sshcorp.com and telnet to the mailhost.sshcorp.com IP.Please take IP from nslookup in cmd...
No need to specify the any where apart from main.cf.........
We need to enable mail access in relay host server first.Thats why i have asked telnet to your relay server.
Oh! Bit confused as I am new to this platform
root@sshldb # telnet smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com
Trying 207.46.62.153...
it struks here and the following is the result of nslookup
C:\Users\srinath>nslookup smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com
Server: ksdibmdc01.kstech.com.sg
Address: 192.168.0.198
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com
Address: 207.46.62.153
check telnet smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com 25...If comes trying.Please check with necessary team to allow relay access for your server.
Getting no reply
root@sshldb # telnet smtp.mail.apac.microsoftonline.com 25
Trying 207.46.62.153...
Thanks for your support. Let me check this connectivity and come back to you on the results

Hi Susi,
the one which i tried was the new server which is not working.
Here are the outcomes of the old one.
root@sshldb # ping smtp.sshcorp.com
smtp.sshcorp.com is alive
root@sshldb # nslookup smtp.sshcorp.com
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available
root@sshldb # telnet smtp.sshcorp.com 25

I am able to ping the server but nslookup doesnt work.
Its should work.You can see telnet to the port 25 is connected state.Just try to send one test mail mailx -s test xyz@abc.com.sg..
Nslookup is a DNS problem.Please ignore...
No it is not working and this is the problem I am facing. It is not authenticating the client when i try through telnet
$ telnet smtp.sshcorp.com 25
