How to send mails from a UX to NT Lotus

Hi!

What I need to configure in order to receive emails from all the HP-UX 10.20 boxes to my email account in Lotus Notes,I don't want to use DNS on HP-UX box.

Can any body help me?

Thanks.

Hola!
You need to configure your file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by adding your exchange server name to the line "DS".
If you use DNS and you can already resolve the server's name it's done, if you don't, then you'll need to add the address to /etc/hosts.

send your emails with sendmail, mail, mailx, ...
Normally I use mailx:
mailx -s ""

good luck.

Hi Veronica,
You probably already know this but I didn't the first time I did this. You must have the SMTP/MIME ATA running on your Domino server.
I assumed that anything that called itself a mail server understood SMTP. Was I ever wrong.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Agrade?a-o, Pedro

And Clay I did what Pedro said and I did a test sending me an email and in the mail.log file I have the follow entry:

stat=Deferred: Conection refused by lotus-server.domain.com

Maybe this is refering about the smtp/mime how can I run or configure it on the domino server?

Thanks,

Sorry Veronica, I'm not an NT guy. You might post your query on enabling the SMTP/MIME ATA
on the NT forum. You also need to make sure that the UNIX box can resolve the exact host name of the NT box and vice versa. You will probably have to configure the Dj macro in sendmail.cf.
If you examine /etc/mail/sendmail.cf you will see what I'm talking about. You should also look at the error logs on the Domino server.
