Need some clarification on Mail Settings. We are managing around hundreds of applications. These applications runs on Linux based hosts and used to send mails to users based on user registration at site and other actions.
We have Sendmail configured on these Linux servers to relay mails to destination mailbox. The following setting is being used in sendmail.cf to forward mails to relay mail server.
DSesmtp:xmail.example.com This is fine for me. But on some servers , I can see only sendmail is running but the above settings is not enabled. But still mails are going through this server. I tried to send mails to Yahoo and GMAIL accounts and mails are successfully getting delivered.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) I am confused how mails are getting delivered since SMARTHOST is not configured . Any pointers ?
