EMAIL

I am on hpux 11:00 on an HPK460 and I'd like to be able to send email out to the world. How can I accomplish this from inside the box?

If you are lucky this is really easy. If you already have a mail server somewhere then all you need to do is edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and look for the 'Smart Relay' macro. e.g.
DSmymail.here.com
Then all non-local mail will be automatically be forwarded to mymail.here.com for additional routing.

Have an entry for an email relay server in your hosts file, (unless you are using DNS to resolve the address). Then modify the sendmail.cf in /etc/mail, and set the DS option like DSmymailer.mydomain.com
If you modify this file, you have to restart sendmail with,
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
