hpux sendmail config

[lVl_1]

Hello all

I am taking an hpux box over someone else and want to reconfigure the mail server. When I use the mail cmd I get IP1 as the IP for the system whereas the current IP is different, let's say IP2. In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf I have found no line that defines the system IP. Where does sendmail look up for this info?

Also, does sendmail require a domain name be configured? Some tips about it would b very welcomed.

Shalom,

No, sendmail will pick up the domain from DNS no problem at all.

Modern sendmail by default only listens on localhost. HP's implementation may be different, but system IP address is defined in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, not the sendmail.cf file.

If sendmail has been configured to listen it will have a statement in sendmail.cf

sendmail does not require the daemon to be run to send outbound mail, only to accept mail.

Need a lot more details to help you on this.

Thanks. Does senmail work from unix (hp ux mail server)to XP (mail client)?
