This is how I have configured it:
1. /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files
aliases: files
2. /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver
domain
3. /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
export SENDMAIL_RECVONLY=0
export SENDMAIL_SENDONLY=0
4. /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
DS
5. stopped and started the sendmail service.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: not able to receive mail in hp-ux
Not a very complete description.
uname -a
> [...] I am able to send mails but not
> receive. [...]
"I am not able" is not a useful problem
description. What, exactly, did you do to
test it? What, exactly, happened when you
did that?
> 5. stopped and started the sendmail service.
How, exactly?
As usual, showing actual commands with their
actual output can be more helpful than vague
descriptions and interpretations.
> [...]
> [...]
> DS
Can you hide any more potentially important
details?
> 4. /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
> [...]
That's what's in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, or
that's what you changed, or that's what you
added, or what?

Re: not able to receive mail in hp-ux
Why does that look as if it were run on a
Windows system?
I'm now officially confused.

Re: not able to receive mail in hp-ux
You should be checking nslookup on the machine that is sending mail.
