Re: sendmail question
is this sendmail that was delivered with HPUX ?
what does your 127.0.0.1 entry in /etc/hosts look like, should only say localhost loopback, no entry for your servername
is your ip, hostname, fqdn the first line in the /etc/hosts file ?( e.g not the loopback entry)

Re: sendmail question
I would imagine the above means connecting to mail server. And to check that you:
cd /etc/mail
grep DS sendmail.cf
You'll get 6 or so lines, one will say,
DSmailserver.com
Does it say localhost?

Re: sendmail question
Its throwing the mail to localhost for relaying purpose and its working fine(as per your comments).
Generally, the mail is sent to external relay server but here your localhost is acting as relay server. Would need to see the configuration files if you really wanted to see how its been configured to flow.
Cheers!

Re: sendmail question
grep DS sendmail.cf
DSsmtp.owi.com
# Return-Receipt-To: header implies DSN request
# DHParameters (only required if DSA/DH is used)
just returns the relay host (FQDN) and no localhost there.
Thanks
brian.

Re: sendmail question
nslookup smtp.owi.com return?
What does:
nslookup ip (* of smtp.owi.com *) return?
Please add:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
