Unix interface with exchange

[Jeff Hagstrom]

We have an RP7410 running hpux 11i and the name of our exchange server is changing. Where in unix is that ip or name kept that should be changed?

Hi Jeff,

# cd /etc/mail
# grep ip_mailserver sendmail.cf

should be someting like
DSip_of_mail_server (or alias to /etc/hosts or DNS)

Regards,

Shalom,

/etc/hosts is where you can make a change on the Unix host if /etc/nsswitch.conf as is standard uses files first for host resolution.

If your shop has a central DNS server the change can be made there though response time will likely be a wee bit longer.
