here are some notes I have made:

edit the sendmail.cf file in /etc/mail/

change the DS directive to

DS=[host or ip of NT exchange server]

wq!

then
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop then start

the previous comments are probably incorrect for what you require:

a simple way to send mail using mailx is

cat |mailx -s "subject" nabil@ or nabil@domian.com

a more complex command you can use:

for var in file1 file2 file3
do
cp $var $var.txt
uuencode $var.txt $var.txt |mailx -m -s "$var" chris.lawrence@mbna.com
rm $var.txt
done

Type the path to sendmail

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop then start

or

./sendmail stop then start

nabil,
you also need to configure IMS Service in the MS Exchange server.

Hi again,
this is my case
the exchaneg IP is 100.110.20.1
the domain is ccs.com.jo
I modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
DS=exmail ( which in /etc/host configured)
also
Dj$w.ccs.com.jo
then stop and start sendmail
I send miail local on same system it works fine
but when I use
cat /etc/host | mailx -s "Test" nabil@ccs.com.jo
I got this log in /var/adm/syslog

Apr 12 16:19:33 HPUXV2 sendmail[3123]: j3CDJXg03123: to=nabil@ccs.com.jo, delay=
00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=173, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued

DS is smart relay - good idea to set it to the name of your exchange server.

DM - good idea to set it to your "global" email domain that exchange uses...IE - if your email address is:

nabil@yourdomain.com then set DMyourdomain.com

Hi,
sendmail from HPUX to exchange solved with the following steps
1- modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
DS
2- configure /etc/nsswitch.conf
according to your need
3- start and stop sendmail
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop/start
4- # cat /etc/hosts | mailx -s "Test" x@xx.com
