hi wood,

refer to this post:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=209679

u need to make some modification to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf on the parameters, Kmailertable and Kdomaintable.

by the way, this is not too easy to begin with for a beginner.

regards.
(p.s. please remember to assign points)

I'm not sure for your answer.

My problem, It's just to send a mail, to someone tht's not on my local computer.

How saids to mailx, to use smtp gateway.

Hi,

A little brief:

1.- Define in your /etc/hosts file an alias for your smtp relay server:
10.64.0.10 my_smtp_relay

Test it the alias resolution (i.e: ping my_smtp_relay)

2.- Configure in your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file the previuos relay into the "Smart relay host" section:
DSmy_smtp_relay

3.- Restart the sendmail service:
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

4.- Try sending a couple of test messages:
#echo "Test One"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v XXXX@toto.com
#echo "Test Two"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v YYYY@tata.com

Or, if you prefer, try with both domains once:
#echo "Full Test"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -v "XXXX@toto.com YYYY@tata.com"

If you want, use mailx command:
echo "Hello"|mailx -s "Test" "XXXX@toto.com YYYY@tata.com"

Rgds.
