sendmail.cf

[Andries Holtzhausen]

I have a server that cannot use DNS. What do I change in sendmail.cf in order to send mail to a mail server, please?

Thanks.

Hi:

Have a look at the Technical Knowledge Base, document #KBRC00002070.

Hi,

Use at least your /etc/hosts file to make your relay server (DS) reachable from your HP-UX host.

In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
DSyour_relay_name

Then "ping your_relay_name" must be reachable!

Also ensure that your /etc/nsswitch.conf have the correct resolution name path.

Always remember restart your sendmail service after any change:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
