In the /etc/mail/aliases file, I have something like:

sysadm: gwild, user1
gwild: gwild@mydomain.com
user1: user1@mydomain.com

Did a newaliases - seems to work.

However, email outbound only works if I use the fully qualafied domain name...

Failure is:

Aug 4 07:28:10 pcu8001 sendmail[3363]: [ID 801593 mail.info] k71Ir6ut007434: to=gwild, ctladdr=gwild (29125/4), delay=2+18:35:04, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=24420236, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

And yes, this is running on one of the few Solaris 10 machines that I also have to support :(

Smartrelay is setup...

/var/spool/mqueue is empty

but

# ls /var/spool/clientmqueue |wc -l
69

Any tips?

Thanks...Geoff

Here's a test of what happens - it sees the alias - but then reverts back to local?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

The location may have changed.

Have you seen http://www.hpux.ws/buildmail.hpux.text

The new release should not have broken that.

I am aware that on Linux new sendmail releases force you to have sendmail listening to accept local mail for delivery, a substantial headache.

SEP

[Geoff Wild]

Nope - that's not it.

I can send email to gwild@mydomain.com - but sending to gwild doesn't work - just goes into the /var/spool/clientmqueue directory....

[Geoff Wild]

Still havn't resolved this - anyone else have a suggestion?

[Geoff Wild]

In /etc/default/sendmail I set it to accept mail locally:

MODE="-bd -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost"

This means port 25 is open on 127.0.0.1

Rgds...Geoff
