Question sendmail problem with HP-UX

Hello,
I'm trying to configure sendmail on a HP-UX 11.0 to send a mail from my server to my mailbox.
I have changed the macro DS in sendmail.cf with the name of the smtp server.
When I try to send a message it is always put in the queue and never sent.
In the log, I get :
May 29 15:30:53 smmv6 sendmail[1142]: PAA01142: from=root, size=100, class=0, pri=30100, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200705291330.PAA01142@smmv6.telecom.capgemini.fr>, relay=root@localhost
May 29 15:30:53 smmv6 sendmail[1142]: PAA01142: to=aribault@capgemini.fr, delay=00:00:45, mailer=relay, stat=queued
The command sendmail -q -v gives :
Running OAA27272 (sequence 3 of 3)
aribault@capgemini.fr... capgemini.fr: Name server timeout
aribault@capgemini.fr... Transient parse error -- message queued for future delivery
All is as if it does not find the SMTP server
Note : I did exactly the same on Solaris and it works fine.
Could someone help me please ?

Check DNS on your server smmv6 - it isn't finding the name server (the server running DNS which will give your server smmv6 the IP of capgemini.fr).

Hi RTM
Thanks for your answer. I just found the solution at the same time.
In fact I have no DNS.
I solved the problem with two actions :
1. Rewrite the ruleset 96 (I took one on a SUN server)
2. Put the domain name in the file /etc/resolv.conf
Now it works.
