# sendmail -v cg.radadia@intria.com
May 18 11:56:55 tunixs01 sendmail[1368]: [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (tunixs01) -- using short name
WARNING: local host name (tunixs01) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?


I got this message.

And, no mail recieved to me.

For the "unable to qualify my own domain" error you need to set your domain name via the Dj macro.

The line may be commented, and probably looks like:

#Dj$w.Foo.com

You need to change this to:

Dj$w.yourdomain.com

(where yourdomain.com is whatever your correct domain name is.)

If sendmail is running, stop and restart it.

Then try sending mail again.

Mu eamil domain is intria.com.

Should I set to D$w.intria.com?

I have also set the DSsmartrealy the copy of the config file is as follow:

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Dj$w.intria.com
# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical
CP.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
#DS
DSmailserver.intria.com

-----------------------------------

Please advise.

>>> Should I set to D$w.intria.com?
>>> Dj$w.intria.com

Yes

>>> DSmailserver.intria.com

It's correct, but your server must be able to resolve mailserver.intria.com correctly. If you cannot resolve mailserver.intria.com, you will have problems forwarding mail to the smart host.

hi:

On my server it get resolve the smart server address.
# telnet mailserver.intria.com 25

my relay server is i3-twpc-syslog1.intria.com.
Does any change I have to make to allow the mail to send to mail server vai smart relay server?

please advise.

Hi,

set the smart relay server as

DSi3-twpc-syslog1.intria.com

[CG Radadia_1]

Thansk you very much all you guys to helping me to config sendmail.

While using mailx and my email addresss it get return the mail from smart server.

Do I have to set authorisation on the relay server?

Thansk again.

[mavrick]

Hi,

you may try with no authorisation options.
It may be like Privateoptions or public options.

[Patrick Wallek]

It is possible that your relay server needs to be set up to allow your HP-UX machine to relay mail through it.

Most e-mail servers do NOT allow relaying by default.
