Can I check what records needs to be added to the dns server (the dns server is windows nt 4) besides the mx record, incoming and outgoing mail server records ?

Thank you

You will need an A record for the machine running sendmail, as well as a PTR record for reverse lookups. To "check" this, just try to use nslookup on the name of the machine running sendmail. If you can't resolve its name, it won't work.

On your sendmail box, enter nslookup 127.0.0.1 and see what the output is. If you don't get a response, you'll need to enter an RR for the box and a PTR for reverse lookups.
