Re: Sendmail problem on hp-ux server
This is probably the most useful message:
> sendmail -v feisal.gaffar@getronics.com > getronics.com: Name server timeout
Your DNS server is refusing to talk to you. sendmail is tied to very closely to DNS for MX (mail delivery) records. sendmail has a little known file to define the local host name: /etc/mail/sendmail.cw and it should look like this:
localhost
myname
myname.mydomain.com
It also has it's own version of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file: /etc/mail/service.switch which defines how sendmail handles name resolution. Change it to:
hosts files
aliases files
Note that with nsswitch.conf and service.switch sett to files (only), your email capability is limited to hosts and IP addresses found in your /etc/hosts file.

Re: Sendmail problem on hp-ux server
Hi All,
Hip Hip Hurray.

I have commented the following entry in my sendmail
configuration file and voila sendmail start working like a charm
Here is the line that cause the mailproblem. I have commented it.
# pass to name server to make hostname canonical
#R$* $| $* < @ $* > $* $: $2 < @ $[ $3 $] > $4
I Also wanna thank all the others who tried help me
with there answers.
Greetings

Re: Sendmail problem on hp-ux server
Hi Srini Javan,
Just for my understanding why does this entry means.
# pass to name server to make hostname canonical
#R$* $| $* < @ $* > $* $: $2 < @ $[ $3 $] > $4
Does this entry mean that sendmail now does not look at the dns servers and only looks at the/etc/hosts file?
Could you explain what this entry means?
