Hi,

To send and receive mail you need to configure
a mail server on your system. Sendmail is the
well known... You can find a lot of information
on this forum or on the net (sendmail in the
search key).

Some informations :

- configuration files are on /etc/mail
- you need to access a DNS (see, in /etc,
nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf)
- If you have another mail server you can
configure your HPUX box to use the other on as
a relay (put the mail server name in field DS
of sendmail.cf)
- you have to configure your domain name or
if you have an error at sendmail starting you
can put it in sendmail.cf (field Dj).
- To start sendmail with rc scripts you need
to modify /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs to put on
for sendmail server starting.

Hope it's help

Just one reminder, i.e. you need to have the corresponding MX record in the DNS in order to RECEIVE Internet email. Advise you get in contact with your DNS administrator.

Hi

U can very well configure sendmail here. The config already given to U. But I suggest one thing that If U are using a workstation, It is better to configure netscape, It is easy and more friendly. This avalable in 10.2 application CD.

If U want to configure sendmail, U can go through "Administering Internet services" book.

Best of luck
