We have a script which includes mailx command. But it mailx is not working, Can some one please let me know what (application or package) do we need to have on server to make it work? The server is BL860c running HPUX 11.23.

What is not working about it? Can you post an error message?

As Autocross asked, can you provide the output from /var/adm/syslog/mail.log during this time?

Has mail ever worked? Have you configured /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and have you started sendmail?

check whether the sendmail daemon is up or not.
ps -ef | grep sendmail

If it is not up. try to start

/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

may be recreating alias.db by newaliases command would help , but we need to know exact error for going any further,
