HP-UX mailer

[khouloud]

Last week our Unix server crashed. We re-installed the Core OS and the mailer worked fine at first. After we restore all the files from the backup tape and copied the /etc/passwd file from another Unix server, the mailer stopped working. It appears that the system has a problem with the Mail Transfer Agents. Anyone has any suggestion of how to fix this problem?

if you are using sendmail, check the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf that it has your cusomizations (specifcally the DS entry). You may just be running with the default setup.

Hi,

The DS entry in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file
must have a valid mail server name to run properly.

DSmymailhost

Stop and restart sendmail afterwards

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