Problem with the sendmail,

Shahbaz_1 — Tue, 07 May 2002 08:26:07 GMT

Hi,
"SEND MAIlL" on Hp-Ux 11i is not working, unable to send mails.

The problem seems to be related with domain-relay something.

What are the area I can look into, to know the exact problem and resolve it?

Please ...

Thanks & Regards
Syed

Hi,

See your sendmail.cf file and look for DSrelayserver.domain.com

Hi Syed,

First and foremost try this option

# sendmail -v xxx@yyy.com < /tmp/file

Send the mail to your email ID. If it does not reach you then send the output to the forum.

Hi,

Ok, it seems sending should be no problem.
Is there any message in /var/adm/syslog/mail.log ?

What happens if you try to send mail from the commandline, to user on the same machine and on an other machine ?

Hi,

Relaying denied. So you need to check your relay server if he allows to relay for your other host.

Hi,

Could also be your mail sever cannot be found by your relay server.
