Setting mail Configuration

ganzsp — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 04:50:55 GMT

Hai,

one of the remote user is not able to get/send mail from a local server.

I was recieving the mail from root as i have given my ID in /etc/mail/aliases file in Local aliases.now added the remote user's name as well.

In the sendmail.cf The remote host IP is specified and the local host is commented.

I have given /usr/sbin/newaliases in order to create a new aliases.db

but when i try to sendmail by using
#sendmail -v ID
message
.
it was going to /dead.letter.

Is any configuration settings has to be made or checked and any deamons has to run accordingly.Kindly,Help me in resolving this.

Thanks
Ganzsp

Hello,

So far looks good.

a) To make your environment better do this:

# touch /etc/mail/sendmail.st

# chmod 700 /ocuins/home

b) Can you run command:

# sendmail -v userID

and see what happens on the screen.

c) Also, you forgot to send contents of
dead.letter :)

Do not worry, we will sort you problem
out once we get the right logs.
