Step one: Try asking in an HP-UX forum,
instead of in this Tru64 forum.

> 3.My box is Standalone

Around here, "Standalone" means not
networked. It's tough to send e-mail from a
standalone system.

> that is with out domain.

Which makes that "WARNING: local host name
(test) is not qualified" complaint pretty
easy to explain.

Whom do you expect to accept e-mail from a
system which does not have a domain name?

Step 2. Set the DNS domain on this system.

Hi Kannan

you can follow the below steps

1. configure /etc/resolv.conf with domain name, nameserver IP
2. /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
3. configure macro DS to DSexchange_relay_name
- configure macro Dj$w. to Dj$w.
- put to /etc/hosts (don't forget the dot at the end)

4. - start end stop sendmail to take modifications in sendmail.cf active.
5. - configure exchage to accept relay this host.

6. Save and quit sendmail.cf
7./sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
8./sbin/init.d/sendmail start
9. echo test | sendmail -v
