Re: having problems configuring mailx on hp/ux server

Hi Jose , i meant to say as well if it is a help , I have another sever called 'dubhp01' and it is the exact same model and operating system and mail works fine on it. This server would also be using the same domain and DNS etc. I tried to compare the configs but I cant see anything wrong on the dubhptst server. Is there anything or any file i can check on the 'dubhp01' server that I could then check on the dubhptst server do you think? Mabey I missed something

Hi,

Are you *shure* that your smtp service are running on maismsg002.guww.net (10.114.5.39)?

Please attach the files:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf

Re: having problems configuring mailx on hp/ux server

Jose,
I think we have a good idea now. There is no 'resolv.conf file on dubhptst rather weirdly. There is one on dubhp01 and it has the following so I guess I can create a file on the dubhptst server that the issue is on and include the following ?

dubhp01:mail # more /etc/resolv.conf
domain diageo.net
nameserver 10.4.70.15
nameserver 10.4.31.15
resolv.conf: END
