The easiest way to "band-aid" this would be to get the IP address of the remote machine (at your ISP) you normally use to send email and place it in your /etc/hosts file with the name "mailhost". The "standard" Sun sendmail.cf (subsidiary.cf) file still contains a "SmartHost" reference to "mailhost" as either the "Smart Relay Host" (Up to Solaris 9), OR as the "FallbackSmartHost" in Solaris 10. So defining the "mailhost" in /etc/hosts as your REAL mail hub should work. As an added thought, if you have a "mail hub" (like if you are at work), setting THAT machine to have a CNAME (in DNS) or an alias (in /etc/hosts ) of "mailhost" will direct your Solaris 9 server to send any email to THAT machine. The "mail hub", if it is already setup (properly) will handle any email you send to it, and (barring any SPAM filters) will send out your email as it should be sent. The BEST answer is to buy the latest "Bat" book, and study the configuration of sendmail by yourself. Last edited by dsbeerf; 07-04-2006 at 07:34 PM. |
