mail configuration

[Asif_8]

I try to configure the send mail on HP-ux server My configuration is

1. No DNS
2. edit /etc/host and put exchange Ip
3. edit sendmail.cf fiele and put
Dj$w.your_domain.com
4. stop and start send mail
when I test i got following message
sendmail -v azuberi@stc.com.sa
stc.com.sa: Name server timeout
azuberi@stc.com.sa... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
5./var/adm/syslog/mail.log
May 27 11:24:22 oracle sendmail[2619]: LAA02619: to=azuberi@stc.com.sa, delay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=stc.com.sa, stat=Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery

Shalom,

You missed one, maybe two things.

DS should be set to the relay server, your best bet is to use the IP address of the exchange server. Why bother with DNS or /etc/hosts

DS
[192.168.0.10]
# where 192.168.0.10 is the ip addy of the exchange server.

Then you need to open up relay to the HP-UX box on the exchange server. For anti-spam reasons this is disabled by default on exchange. This last item is most likely the problem.

#2 is probably related to #1.

"how open up relay to the HP-UX box on the exchange server" -- You would have to talk to your MS Exchange administrator for that.
