configure mail on HPUX

Pasha Shaik — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 09:07:19 GMT

I am using HPUX 11.11 and 11.23. I have MS Exchange 2003 server for mailing. How can I configure to send mail from my HPUX box to a client using Windows XP and Outlook.

Hi:

'sendmail' relys on a viable DNS running, so first, verify that.

You need to setup the smart relay macro in '/etc/mail/sendmail.cf'. You should have something like:

DSadmin.exchange.com

...for the DS macro which should be commented-out.

Then, add your server's hostname and FQDN to '/etc/mail/sendmail.cw' if they're not already there.

You do *not* need to have the 'sendmail' daemon running to send out-going mails. If you wish, set SENDMAIL_SERVER=0 in ' /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs'.

Regards!

...JRF...

Shalom,

the Exchange server must explicitly permit relay from the HP-UX box or all mail will be rejected.

diagnostics:

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@your.net

type some text

.

also: /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

make thoses changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

#Dj$w.Foo.COM

# DS

Change this line with the following
# R$* $| $* < @ $* > $* $: $2 < @ $[ $3 $] > $4
R$* $| $* $: $2

Change F=mDFMuX par F=0DFMuX in this line
Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=0DFMuX, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\
n, L=990,
