mailx is a mailing utiliyt requiring no configuration.

sendmail's primary configuration is a file called /etc/sendmail.cf or /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

To set up relay the Linux box needs to allow relays from the IP of the HP-UX box.

/etc/mail/access Here is a sample.

192.168.0.2 RELAY

That was tab delimited on my Linux box.

servcie sendmail restart after setting this up.

I'm attaching my script for rebuilding the hash databases on the Linux box.

Now, on the HP-UX box, much easier.

There is a DS directive in the above mentioned sendmail.cf file

vi the file, find the DS and put the IP address of the linux box in there here is the form.

DS
[192.168.1.2]

That being the IP address of the Linux box.

Save the file

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Now you are done.
