Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

To merely access your mail on the HP-9000 server via outlook, you need to set up popmail.

Install this product and configure it, then you will be able to do so directly:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/qpopper-4.0.5/

This product is also available on the Internet Express product from HP. http://software.hp.com

You can also relay mail to an exchange server. If you wish to do that, let us know and someone will tell you how to do that.

Yes, I would like to know how to relay to my exchange server.

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Change DS to

DShostname_of_exchange_server

example

DSexchange.your.net

or

DS
[192.168.0.10] # ip address of the exchange server.

The exchange server needs to be configured to allow relay from the IP address of the HP-9000 server.

save the sendmail.cf file

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

tail -f /var/adm/syslog/mail.log


Send the mail.

Any errors will be apparent and we'll need to see them to advance your question.

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

You may also have to set masquerading - if your internal domain differs from the Exchange server:

In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

DMyourdomain.com

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

Hi, thank you for the help.
The problem is not the IP address. It knows how to do that. The error message is

=============================================
HELO servername.
501 5.5.4 Invalid Address

554 myeamil@company.com ... Service unavailable
=============================================

where "HELO servername." there is an extra "." after servername. Do not know how that even got there.

I think that is what is causing the problem.

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

The HELO servername. sounds like it can't qualify your FQDN...

Make sure the FQDN is in /etc/hosts

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

Hi,

You can try to set the Dj macro in the sendmail.cf to set your domain.

Present entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

#Dj$w.Foo.COM

change this to

Dj$w.your_domain.com

Restart sendmail

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/sendmail start

And give it a try.

Hope this helps.

This is what it is in the mail log file. Hope this will give more insight.
============================================
Nov 4 12:33:46 sybase1 sendmail[18786]: MAA18784: to=abc123@company.com, ctladdr=erp (102/102), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=company.com. [10.0.1.10], stat=Service unavailable
Nov 4 12:33:46 sybase1 sendmail[18786]: MAA18784: MAA18786: DSN: Service unavailable
============================================

Both sybase1 and company.com is defined in /etc/hosts file.

Re: How to setup mail with Exchange server?

Still seems like either the Exhange Server is not allowing relay or network connectivity is not working right.

Can you ping via the hostname in your sendmail configuration file?

This setup can't work without a configuration change on the exchagne server. Default configuration of that server will not permit relay of mail.
