Send email to external server

Rafael Massuquetto — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:31:56 GMT

I'm trying send a email from HP-UX to the internal mail server, but no success.
I set the /etc/hosts file the name of server and internal IP like
192.168.0.1 www.company.com.br

Hi Rafael:

Configure the "smart relay" macro in '/etc/mail/sendmail.cf'. Make sure that your DNS works and you should be able to do:

# mailx -s "Hello!" rafael@company.com.br < /dev/null

The 'DS' macro should look something like this:

DSexchange.company.com.br

Regards!

_How_, exactly? As usual, showing actual
commands with their actual output can be more
helpful than vague descriptions and
interpretations.

Not a very useful description.

> [...] name of server [...]

Is that the "internal mail server"?

Are you running sendmail on the HP-UX system?
