Transfering sendmail

[Robert Akintunde]

Could someone please inform me about the best way to transfer sendmail from using uucp to use smtp instead.

this is a hp9000 server version 11.0 if that helps.

If using a Smart Host, define that host using the DS macro.

There is/are lines after ruleset 0 that should be commented out. There pertain to the use of uucp for mail delivery.

what about if i'm not using a smart host could youn define further

[Rick Garland]

If not using a Smart Host, just don't define.

In your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file, set your mail server name with the DS (DSmailserver name). Comment the DW line if set with a name. Also do a search for related settings of DS in the sendmail.cf file. Restart sendmail /sbin/init.d/sendmail (stop/start).
