you don't need extra SMTP software.The hp-ux OS has a sendmail program built in and it can offer SMTP service.(It is in /sbin/init.d/sendmail)
Hope this helpful!

smtp comes as part of the standard operating system. Specifically it is part of sendmail. You can also look at other clients available from the porting centre, search for 'smtp'

Actually, I'm using sendmail. Unfortunately, it did not work as smtp relay of Microsoft Exchange for outbound and inbound messages. Even just adding the "DS(ipaddress of exchange)" from the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. But if there is somebody help me I'll stick to sendmail.

Can you provide more information on what you're trying to achieve? Is the Exchange server the inbound/outbound relay or is the sendmail server?

If you simply want the sendmail server to forward all messages to the exchange server, then the DS macro is all you need to configure. Are you getting an error in /var/adm/syslog/mail.log when you try and send a message? There may be some configuration necessary on the Exchange side for it to accept SMTP from this host.

Sendmail can now forward email from sendmail to exchange. But sending email from exchange to sendmail failed. From the mail.log, it appears "we do not relay". What particular entry in sendmail.cf should we add to allow the exchange to send mail to sendmail?

I have 2 questions about your problem :
Is you sendmail a relay ? I mean a Mail Transfert Agent between your exchange server and internet or another netwok ?
Or is your sendmail a mail server/client in your network ?

In the first case, you have to specify e relay-domains file :
in sendmail.cf uncomment or add the line :
FR-o /etc/mail/relay-domains
and in the file /etc/mail/relay-domains
you specify the domain name for which you authorize relay.
ex. yourdomain.com
If you manage more than 1 domain, add the others.
warning : this command works only for releases after 8.6 of sendmail.

An other parameter to add is a /etc/mail/virtusertable file in the sendmail.cf to specify that users to your domain will be transfered to your exchange server.
this is to manage incoming email

and last but not least :
/etc/mail/access where you specify the name of you exchange server, and the word RELAY to accept relaying this server !!!
(it works also with the domain name !)
for this file in sendmail.cf :
Kaccess hash /etc/mail/access
or something like that (it depends of the release of sendmail you are using !!)
Don't forget to manage masquerading for outgoing email (if you go to internet !!).

To accept email to local user, user the Cm in sendmail.cf

I know it's not very easy, but you can do all what you want with sendmail !!! You just have to spend time to see how ot works !
