https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/sendmail/m-p/2428844#M2307 We have some B1000 systems installed with 10.20 some months back. In all these m/cs, sendmail is unable to route mail to a remote account unless the name is expanded ie. phil@dolphin instead of just phil.This implies that it is unable to refer to the NIS aliases database although the "service.switch" is configured and "sendmail.cf" entry for "service.switch path" is unhashed.<BR />The version of sendmail is 8.9.3(PHNE-18979) of size720896 bytes.The problem could be solved by copying the sendmail executable "/usr/sbin/sendmail" of ver 8.7.1 and size 344064 bytes from another 10.20 system.<BR />Is it a bug with sendmail ver 8.9.0 or is there a configuration problem?
