email from HP Unix box

[Dibyendu Roy]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what all thing I will have to do to enable email facility from HP box to outside world. Currently I am able to send mail from my account to some other user's account in the same box but not able to send mail to some external address.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there.
Just try to configure the sendmail daemon
( study the man pages ).

Hi,

Find out the mail relay that your company uses to talk to the outside world. Then edit your sendmail.cf and set this as the smart host (look for the line DS and add your relay to this line).

Stop and start sendmail and see if this helps.

Rgds, Robin.

Hi


If you do not have one

cp /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf


The file is well commented

Hi,

If you have a mail server in the organization, you can simply relay the mails to this mail server and let it take care of sending the mails to the outside world. We use the DS macro to do this in the sendmail configuration file, /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

look for DS,

change it to,

DSmailserver.domain.com

Stop and restart sendmail,

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

You can also look at the link below on how to configure sendmail,

Hope this helps.
