Solaris

We just put in a new Solaris machine and whenever we try to run a job (these are cron jobs), we get the following message:
ibasdb02:/ # May 14 14:10:12 ibasdb02 sendmail[22219]: [ID 801593 mail.alert] l4
EIABQa022219: Losing ./qfl4EIABQa022219: savemail panic

Any ideas on what this means? The cron job worked without a problem on our old machine. We use the mail system to track whether a job ran successfully. The job running by itself does not generate mail (its not supposd to when run manually).

what happens when you perform a in-line test of sendmail?
Have you configured sendmail on your sunbox?


-bash-3.00$ sendmail -v testuser@me.com
this is a test

How can I avoid sending through standard.com? I want to use the local machine for mail on the CRON jobs?

I guess that the local machine was setup with "standard.com" as a host, so you can change that, but this is also setup in the sendmail options as it seems. Are you sure that the rDNS part is correct ?
Take a look at this thread also, this has been discussed previously.

We actually got the machine with the OS preloaded. What is the best way to change it so mail goes to local instead of standard.com? Are there a certain set of files to edit and a procedure to follow?

hi hshapiro,

Code:

oot... deliverable: mailer relay, host standard.com., user root@standard.com

whats your 127.0.0.1 machine name?
theres got to be localhost right?
so change whatever daemon to send mail with that (root@localhost).
or with root@your_machine.your_domain

cheers.

How do I change the daemon?
