Installing sendmail problem

Jennifer Lam — Tue, 04 Dec 2001 19:42:40 GMT

Hello all,
I need a help to install sendmail on a server running 11.0. After I install sendmail on the server, the server sendmail using 'mailx' command without error message, but the other user in the server and the client get 'no mail' message after I send mail to there. These are the following steps that I have created:
1. configuring an NFS server
- Created the /etc/exports file.
- Enable PC NFS flag to 1
2. Installing sendmail on a the mail server
- Set SENDMAIL_SERVER variable to 1
- Make sure /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and aliases file are owned by user root and group other and have permission set to 0444.
- In /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file set the NFS_SERVER variable to 1
3. setting up mail aliases
- In /etc/mail/aliases file add line
alias: mailing_list
- regenerate the aliases database-Issue commanad: /usr/sbin/newaliases
4. Using command 'mailx' to send mail to client/other user on my server.

Hi,

var/adm/syslog/mail.log file show you possible errors for not transfering the mail.

try sending mail with just sendmail command
sendmail abc (abc is the user name ) If the user is on same domain
Or else you need to mention put full e-mail address.
