Re: problem sending mail
Sendmail defaults to a DNS environment unless you are using the service.switch file. If you are using sendmail in a non-DNS env, try this link below.

Hope this helps.

Re: problem sending mail
I'm assuming you have set:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSyoursmtpserver
in sendmail.cf and restarted sendmail...

Re: problem sending mail
I assume you have also set up internet connection.
The following items need set to have internet connection and email over the internet:
1) set your default gateway. (the ip address that gets out to the net). check it with:
netstat -rn command.
should have a line in it like:
default xxx UG
note: xxx is the ip address of your gateway.
vi /etc/resolv.conf
add:
domain yourdomain
nameserver external ip address (isp provides)
ls /etc/nsswitch.conf (if it exists)
vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: dns [notfound=continue tryagain=continue unavail=continue] files
if /etc/etc/nsswitch.conf does not exist,
cp -p /etc/nsswitch.hp_defaults /etc/nsswitch.conf
Now you should be able to get out:
nslookup yahoo.com
you should get a yahoo ip address.
Now set up sendmail.
find your version: type the folowing:
what /usr/sbin/sendmail (mine version is 8.9.3.1 and it works.
Next:
cd /etc/mail
vi sendmail.cw
add the following to the end:
localhost
yourhostname
yourhostname.yourdomainname
Note: yourhostname and yourdomainname are what you have set for your system.
Next:
vi sendmail.cf
#change the following:
Dj$w.yourdomainname
DSyoursmtpserver
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupWritableDirPathSafe
CE root
DMyourdomainname
Now kill sendmail and restart it:
killsm
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
try the sendmail -v email address command you used. it should work now.
Some of these steps were already givin by others. Sorry about the overlap. These steps are taken right from my notes when I set up internet and email on HP-UX 11i
Good Luck, hope this helps.
