I'm having problem configuring a HP-Unix server to sent a mail out.
This is what I have do to configure the sendmail:-
My server is resolving using /etc/hosts.
1) Add the mail relay ip and hostname to /etc/hosts.
2) At the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.
I configure the "DSdomainname" and "Dj$wdomain.com"
3) I restart the sendmail daemon.
But I still get this message :-
MKZSX003@root:>sendmail -v chai.external@infineon.com
infineon.com: Name server timeout
chai.external@infineon.com... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
helllo
.
chai.external@infineon.com... Queued
What else is affecting the sendmail?
i have try manually connect to smtp relay server. And i can sent a mail out.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Sendmail configuration problem.
Try with the IP adres in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
If this works, then it is a DNS problem

Re: Sendmail configuration problem.
It seems to be a DNS Problem. Try to check the address resolving through nslookup , configure nsswitch entry of files as follows
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns
Please refer the attached documents for more details..

Re: Sendmail configuration problem.
as I originally thought, it was a DNS resolve problem.
Please double check the email address sent to.
For the new problem can you please try:
echo "test" | mailx chai.external@infineon.com
And report back.

Re: Sendmail configuration problem.
Now i was able to sent mail. The problem is due to /etc/nsswitch.conf file is messing.
After i copy the nsswitch.conf from backup. Then it is ok.

Re: Sendmail configuration problem.
Check the following file, if it has configured properly..
#cat /etc/resolv.conf
{ it should look like..
domain infineon.com
nameserver x.x.x.x (ip address of the dns server)}
#cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
(it should like..
DSinfineon.com )
#telnet
if it is working fine..
send a test mail to ur id
#mailx -s " Test msg " chai.external\@infineon.com
hi! test is a test mail..
Press ctl D
Check ur mail box.. u should receive a test mail...
cheers
