Mail Problem in HP-UX 10.20

[Manish Barnwal]

I am having a HP 9000 D Class D220 server with 256MB RAM loaded with HP-UX 10.20 Everything is working fine but when the server boots in morning it takes surprisingly around 3-5 minutes to start the mail daemon.

What may be the problem ...
Pl help..

Well, the first thing to do is to look at the contents of /etc/rc.log to see if you notice any error messages that may have occurred when you attempted to start the sendmail daemon. Post the info here so we can try to help.

Take a look at the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log file, and post this info also.

Hi Manish,it's a solution:

1.cp /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/
2.modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
1)Add an entry under the line "#Dj$w.Foo.COM":
Dj$w.
2)find the line "check_local",uncomment it;
3.Modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cw:
localhost
hpaps
hpaps.
4.Modify /etc/hosts:
10.85.17.10 hpaps hpaps.
5.Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf
...
hosts: files dns nis
...
6.Restart sendmail daemon:
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Good luck!
