Mail issue

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

I am working for a vendor company called Vendor A. My company has a client which manage some of HP-UX servers. So I have 2 e-mail addresses dewa@vendorA.com and dewa@client.com. I encounter an issue when I want to send a report using cc-mail from client's HP-UX box to my vendor's mail dewa@vendorA.com. BUT It was working well when I sent the report to dewa@client.com.

How can I send the report directly to my vendor's mail dewa@vendorA.com? Should I need to setup some configurations?

Please help. High score will be given.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dewa

it would be great if You told us the exact issue - does the mail bounce at the remote host? won't it get queued?

guessing is a bit hard this early in the morning :)

I think it might be a forwarding issue.

If the HP-UX box is sending mail via an exchange server, then that server needs to be told to allow relaying mail from the HP-UX box.

Sounds like email can not be sent outside the client's domain from the HP server.

Check the following in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DM

Should be:

DMclient.com

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

Should be:

DSclientemailserver



Test with:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bv dewa@vendorA.com
