Re: Sendmail Issue
(should what?)
There are no inboxes with sendmail. There is /var/mail/ for each user. There is /var/spool/mqueue/ for outgoing mail.

Re: Sendmail Issue
Have you done what VK2COT said?
Have you checked /var/adm/syslog/mail.log?

Re: Sendmail Issue
I had to smile at your last response.
Dennis asked you: Have you checked /var/adm/syslog/mail.log?
You responded: Yes, i have checked.
This short answer reminds me of a funny scene
in one of Pink Panther films where
the Inspector Cluso (sp?) asked a Swiss
person if he knew the current time. The guy
responded "Yes" and walked away :)
What Dennis meant by his question was:
What does the log file say?
Most probably, the message is deferred because the server cannot contact remote
mail server or it cannot resolve domain name
for the recipient.
Hence, as we said before, you need to
set up sendmail with Smarthost support.
Cheers,
VK2COT

Re: Sendmail Issue
Can you provide me how to make this smarthost support setup. Hey I am new to HP UX servers, so required a huge support to solve a small issue.

Re: Sendmail Issue
Sendmail setup is not specific to HP-UX.
It is common to many Unices and Linux.
Simplest method. Let's assume your smarthost
is hostname myhost.mydom.dom, or just
myhost, or its IP address is
192.168.5.20.
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and
look for line "DS" (CAPITALS ARE IMPORTANT!).
Replace:
DS
with
DSmyhost.mydom.dom
or
DSmyhost
or
DS192.168.5.20
Then, restart sendmail:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
Note that myhost or myhost.mydom.dom MUST
be resolvable on your HP-UX server.
Hint: check /etc/nsswitch.conf
and probably /etc/resolv.conf (unless
you, for some reason use LDAP or NIS/NIS+).
If you have multiple smarthosts in your company, you can even do this:
DShostA:hostB:hostC
Or even
DS[hostA]:[hostB]:[hostC]
The entries with square brackets
mean "do not use DNS to resolve hostnames"...
Cheers,

Re: Sendmail Issue
As you said i have added the DS entries in sendmail.cf file, Still my problem is not resoloved.
I have compared the same file in another HP UX server, but i dont find any entery in DS.
One thing i like to share with you is, now i am getting msg like "you have a mail".
