On Googleing I found someone having same problem way back in 2001 but there was no solution. Also I found there is lots of control by Chinese government.
Is this problem with RH9? or sendmail with RH9? But then why does problem occur only with China?
So please let me know if someone has (had) same problem and solution if it was solved.
Umm...he needn't use Sendmail as his outgoing SMTP. He can use his provider's SMTP server. The problem shouldn't be with RH9 since is a very well tested, stable distro and still is being used commercially. If there is such a bug then it should be reported on Redhat's bugzilla but it seems highly unlikely.
I dont like idea of smarthost, afterall Linux is capable and I dont like ISP queuing up mails. Recording mails is easy that way. Its not that I dont trust the ISP but I prefer instant and direct delivey.
I dont think the great firewall of China has anything to do with it. AFAIK, if the reverse look up on your IP fails then your mail isn't accepted by the target's SMTP server. I guess this must be your problem because I dont think your customer has bought a domain name and a static IP...
Reverse lookup exists but ofcourse points to something.iqara.net. But then noone can have fully qualified domain as reverse lookup. Many companies have multiple domains. One IP cant reverse lookup to all.
