mailx error

Ricky B. Nino — Fri, 21 Feb 2003 07:09:51 GMT

Hi,

I encountered this error when I executed mailx in one of my server here. Message is...

"name server (I option) specified but BIND not compiled in..."

Appreciate any help.

Hi,

This is not the error from mailx But it is the error from sendmail.

give this command.

#sendmail -v

is it giving NAMED_BIND ?

If not then you have compiled sendmail without DNS support But you are using the DNS config for sendig mails ie. MX records. So the error is given.

Compile sendmail with DNS support enabled.

sorry , give this instead of sendmail -v

#strings /usr/sbin/sendmail | grep NAMED_BIND
