sendmail.cf DS question?

B. Jen — Sun, 30 Oct 2005 21:19:50 GMT

Our sendmail was configured by one of our consultant few months ago. Now I need to change the settings and could not find the file. The one in the /etc/mail was back in year 2000. Where else I can find this file? Also, can I change the sendmail settings (DS?) to forward all SMTP mails to my internal smart host? Thank you,

Have a look at the sendmail startup file in /sbin/init.d
the file /sbin/init.d/sendmail should give you the idea where the configuration files are for this sendmail (usually in /etc/mail, but as you said maybe they are kept somwhere else if configured differently).

Also yes you can change the DS (SMART relay host) to your internal SMTP mail server

sendmail.cf should be in /etc/mail

On HP-UX, sendmail binary should be in /usr/sbin/ - which is a symbolic link to:

/usr/contrib/sendmail/usr/sbin/sendmail

And yes, set DS to your internal mail server.

You may also want to set the DM macro as well to your domain (external) name.
