For this you don't need a doc.

in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

configure the gateway for the server that is providing internet access. Make it the ip address.

That gets you Internet access.

in the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

find the DS directive, it should be the only directive with the capital letters DS

Change

DS

to

DShostname_of_exchange_server

example

DSexchangeserver.your.net

or

DS
[IP addy of exchange server]

example

DS
[192.168.0.40]

save the file

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

The exchange server must explicitly be set up to relay mails from your 7410 server. If not this will fail.

Steven pretty much gave you what you need, set up your network route and sendmail.cf file.

As far as documentation, a good place to start is the Internet Services manual.

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Internet%20Services

You will find most other Network type manuals on that site.
