mailx problem

We use mailx to send emails of out unix from some programs we wrote. They go out of our exchange server(2000). They work when they go to my yahoo account. We have a test machine that uses the same exchange server and we are able to send mail out of that machine using mailx. RP7410 HPUX 11i

Re: mailx problem

Are they getting stuck?
#mailq

Anything in your /var/adm/syslog/mail.log that indcates whats happening?

Does the mail eventually get bounced back?

Re: mailx problem

It sounds as if you Exchange server needs to be set up to allow e-mail from your production machine to be relayed through it.

Hi Jeff,
Check /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
Check the error messages.Most probably it is failing the authentication with exchange server.
