Well, _that_ explains _everything_. All you
need to do is use the "xxxxx" command, and
edit the file, "xxxx", adding "xxx" where
appropriate (that is, on line "xx", right
after "x").

Hi Prashantj


If you use xxxx in the netsatt -rn or nslookup we can't see the ip and try to undertand the problem.


You must post the output of those commands if you can.


I think you do not post them for security reasons.


But if you do not give that kind of information it's harder to check the problem.

Regards.

That's fair. _I_ am not able to understand
how you expect anyone to help with a network
problem when you hide all the useful
information.

> [...] 192.168.0.0 [...]

No one outside your network can get to these
IP addresses. Please stop wasting everyone's
time by hiding information like this.

Now, ...

What are the IP addresses and netmasks on
the HP-UX system and on the system to which
you're trying to send the e-mail?

On the HP-UX system (and on the other system,
depending on what it is):

netstat -rn

Hi again


Post your nestat -rn from your client.


In the client do a nslookup " name.of.mail.server "

Then do a ping "name.of.mail.server.

Tehn do a ping "ip.of.the.mail.server".

Unusual, but it could be ok.

So, these are the data for the (HP-UX) system
with IP address 192.168.3.62?

And on the system to which you're trying to
send the e-mail?

A system with IP address 192.168.3.62 and
netmask 255.255.248.0 will think that it's on
the same subnet as a system with IP address
192.168.0.6. We also need to know what the
netmask is on the system whose IP address is
192.168.0.6. (Route information on that
system would also be interesting.) If that
netmask is different from this one, then that
system may not know how to get a reply back
to 192.168.3.62.
