failed to send mailsl to my emaild id

Mallesham_kukat — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:50:27 GMT

we are using

version:
HP-UX hva03ads B.11.31 U ia64 0291095592 unlimited-user license

compiler:

Hewlett-Packard Company - 41 - HP C/aC++ Version A.06.25

Recently we migrated from sun solaris to HP. Previously we used to send mails to my emaild with using below command.

echo "Hello" | mailx -s "Hai" myemaild@gmail.com

it is worked fine in sun solaries but in HP it is not working so we are not getting mails.

Kindly help on this.

not sure what you think the significance of your compiler would be...

anyway, I'd imagine the first thing to check would be what email gateway you have setup in your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file...

look for an entry like:

DSmygateway.mycompany.com

So why don't you look at your sendmail.cf file on Solaris and see what entry you have there?

Do you see the line that begins with 'DS'? If so what does it say on the Solaris server and what does it say on the HP-UX server?

Thanx for reply Patrick Wallek

I have found line begins with 'DS' in both Solaries and HP. In Solaries they mentioned mycompany hostname, in HP they are not mentioned. So i think this is only problem for not recieving mail. Now i have no permission for change HP sendmail.cf i will ask my administrator to update that. i think this will solve my problem. thanks for your help Patrick Wallek.
