Re: Sendmail service problem
thanks a lot for all your valuable inputs.I left the office so couldnt check if the mails were delievered.I will check this tomorrow and update in this form.
Iam just wondering that there wasnt any changes on this server in recent days as Iam the only person who support this and the sendmail used to work well with the same settings.
rgds,
ricky

Re: Sendmail service problem
if things were working correctly, the mail would have been delivered nearly instantly.
If possible do a tail -f on the mail.log or maillog file of the server that is supposed to be accepting the mail.
You could use DS relay but the mail as composed would get hung up.
One way to work around this is Dj as noted. Another is to alter the hostname to fully qualified domain name.
host
becomes
host.your.net
in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
for the hostname.
Another way is through DNS support or /etc/hosts networking. In DNS you can use fqdn for this server so that when another server does a lookup it gets a complete fully qualfied name.
Even easier in /etc/hosts
host.your.net ip_address
example
host.your.net 192.168.0.10
The server will magically start sending mail with a fully qualifed domain name. You probably will need to restart sendmail.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

The mails are not yet delievered to the mailbox and I want to make sure with you guys is the problem still at my end
or at the relayserver.Please find below the entries
1.My /etc/hosts entries are
more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
xx.xx.xx.xxx ual01 ual01. ual01.ttslc.com
2.mailq -v -d
getauthinfo: root@localhost
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = ual01
(canonical domain name) $j = $w.ttslc.com
(subdomain name) $m = ttslc.com
(node name) $k = ual01
========================================================
setoption HoldExpensive (c).=F
setoption DeliveryMode (d).=
WARNING: World writable directory /var/spool/mqueue
dropenvelope 40016f30: id=
orderq:
Mail queue is empty
3.the entries for the host in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
HOSTNAME="ual01"
OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX

4.Entries in sendmail.cf

Thanks,
Ricky

Re: Sendmail service problem
I definitly would take this as an error and not a warning:
WARNING: World writable directory /var/spool/mqueue
Change the access rights:
chmod 755 (perhaps better: 750) /var/spool/mqueue
Some sendmail versions refuse work at this point, I think.

Re: Sendmail service problem
The problem is solved now after changing to another relay server.
Thanks a lot for all you inputs and support.
It was a good understanding to me.
Thanks,
Ricky
