Are you speaking of one, other than the version that comes with the core-OS ?

I have two systems with 11.23 (itanium) and they have sendmail installed from a cold installation.

judging from the link above, sendmail should installed with an OE install.

Sendmail comes with 11.23, as part of the standard InternetSrvcs product. The following command should confirm this: -

swlist -l file InternetSrvcs

Forgot to say, to enable it, ensure SENDMAIL_SERVER=1 is configured in /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs, and run /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Hi ann,

on my PC I have the following link between Favourites:

http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/usail/index/mail.html

It is one of the best document to install, configure and manage sendmail.

HTH.

Best regards,

It depends exactly what you want really. At the most basic level, if you want to simply allow your server to email out via your mailserver (eg an exchange server), then you need to edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, and set: -

DS macro to point to your mailserver, eg: -

DSmailserver1.yourcompany.com

Dj macro to be your local domain name, eg:-
Djyourcompany.com or
Dj$w.yourcompany.com if you want the emails to include server name in their outgoing domain name.

If you need to do more than this, eg set the server up as a mailserver, then there's MX records to be setup etc, so if you've not done this before you should really have a reference manual/sheet to be working from. There'll be numerous examples on t'interweb no doubt.
