elm not sending

[Clarence Rebolledo]

After re-installing hpux 11i my elm is now sending. I check my config's in /etc/mail and also put my mailgate. Is there an install guide for elm to help troubleshoot.

ELM is just a Mail User Agent (MUA). Sendmail is the Mail Transport Agent (MTA). That's where your problem is, most likely. Are the messages you tried to send queued on your system. (Check with mailq.)

Try this:

/usr/lib/sendmail -v email@whatever

test (finish with a period on a line by itself)

.


sendmail should provide clues from there...

This is what I got.

# /usr/lib/sendmail -v clarence.rebolledo@qwest.com
WARNING: local host name (S0112230) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
clarence.rebolledo@qwest.com... qwest.com: Name server timeout
clarence.rebolledo@qwest.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for futu
re delivery
.
clarence.rebolledo@qwest.com... queued

I guess my $j entry is wrong.

Look in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for the Dj macro. There are comments in the file that will tell you what you need to do.

My focus was wrong, I kept looking at my sendmail configuration. I finally looked at my resolv.conf file and corrected the server addresses and now things work fine.

Thanks to all who answered.
