We have around 63 entries like this in mailq command.

Actual addresses are not used here.

Can you look at the logs on this machine?

>Please find the mailq output.

It seems it doesn't like these aliases. Does mail work to any places at all?

Hello Dennis,

What should I see for ncsusraexmea2.na.jnj.com ?

No mails are not delivered anywhere. We need to setup sendmail client at the earliest.

Thanks * regards,
Kavita

Something in mail.log to say why it refused the mail.

Also what changes have you made in sendmail.cf?

You might want to search other threads for configure and sendmail:

Okay Dennis.....let me see that and get back to you.....thanks

[Kavita Poonia]

Hello All,

I think I have misunderstood here. I do not want to configure a sendmail server here. I want to configure client from which I can send mails. So I have rectified my /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs as below again....

SENDMAIL_SERVER=0
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
export SENDMAIL_RECVONLY=0
export SENDMAIL_SENDONLY=0

So please help me out with this as why I am not able to send outgoing mails even if everything is configured properly which I believe to be right....


Thanks * regards,

>I want to configure client from which I can send mails.

You do have to configure sendmail.cf.

export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0
export SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME=
export SENDMAIL_RECVONLY=0
export SENDMAIL_SENDONLY=0

It seems that mailx invokes sendmail, so this seems fine. But you may have to set SENDMAIL_SENDONLY.
