you need not configure anything if sendmail is already running i think. i have not worked on 10.20 so not so sure.

see man mailx maybe that will clear your doubts

The mailx command uses sendmail to do the actual sending of email. Check the settings in /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs. If you make any changes, run "sh /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop" and "sh /sbin/init.d/sendmail start" to make the changes effective.

The correct configuration for you depends on the structure of your email delivery system. Your email administrator should be able to offer more detailed information.

If you want to receive email to the local accounts of your server, you must - at the very least - ensure that the server is properly registered to the DNS system. You might have to do other things, too - ask your email system administrator.

If the server is accessible from the internet, be VERY careful about sendmail configurations. HP-UX 10.20 probably has a very old sendmail version, so it will have several known vulnerabilities. You don't want to find that your server's been cracked or used as a relay for unsolicited commercial email (spam).
