Configure mailx in Solaris 10
Hello,

We are using exchange server in our environment. I need to configure mailx to send email from Solaris box to one mail I'd which is on exchange server. I know ip of exchange server.. Let me know where should I configure that ip to do the needful?

In Solaris it is probably most easy to define a host alias mailhost for your mail server's IP-addr.
Code:
getent mailhost

should state the IP-addr.
If you use a DNS server, this is the place to define the mailhost.
If you have many Solaris systems, and they use DNS, then they all will send to it.
If you don't use DNS, you can define mailhost in /etc/inet/hosts.
--
As an alternative, you can put the mailserver behind the DS entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with no space, like DSservername.
It might be that servername can be an IP-address, otherwise you need to map one in DNS or /etc/inet/hosts.
After a change in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf you need to restart the service with
Code:
svcadm restart sendmail
