In the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file, search for the "DS" record:

grep DS /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

This will be the relay machine needed to forward mail for your HP-UX machine.

Next DS add IP address of you mail exchange server. Like this

DS XXX.XX.XXX

where XXX.XX.XXX = your mail exchange IP address.
