Configure SMTP Server for Unix

Hi,

We had an upgrade today morning and since then mailx command is not working.
I have been told to change the DNS to use host name as smtp.companyname.com instead of the IP address.
Can someone please help me out to know where can I change this on a Unix Server.

Thanks
Aman
