Hi,

Edit sendmail.cf file
chnge DS to DSnameofyourlinuxserver (No space between DS and name of server)
restart sendmail
edit /etc/mail/aliases and add the line below
root :yourmailid
execute newaliases

You should be able to send mails

Edit the /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs file and look for a line like

export SENDMAIL_SERVER=

and make sure it is set to 1 like

export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1

Then start sendmail. However, keep in mind that you don't need the sendmail daemon running if you just want to send out mail.

hi

I enabled the senmail service and when i am starting sendmail it's giving a warning message as local host name is not quailified.
fix $j in config file

I entered a entry in sendmail.cf file as

DSxx.xx.xx.xx (xx -ipaddress)

Is it correct

But i tried to send a mail by
ls | mailx username@domain.com

Tanx to all

Hi,

Make sure your domain is correct in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

# my official domain name
Dj$w.yourdomain.com

Hi

Shall i able to give Ip address instead of domain name

Re: Notification by mail

No, a domain name by definition must be a name. For example, if your HP-UX box has FQDN:

shark.fishworld.com

then the j macro def. should read:

Dj$w.fishworld.com

The j macro def. constructs the FQDN of your host by by appending the domain to the hostname (the $w part).
