Of course that is the problem; my posting was incomplete.
I suspect that sendmail is not running in daemon mode that is, it will send mail from the system but not receive it.
Check for an /etc/default/sendmail file which might look something like this:
Also check the sendmail process with ps for arguments such as:
Let me know what you find. Sorry for any confusion.

When I downloaded the Solaris 10 from Sun it gave me 4 zipped files with the extension iso.
For an example - one file is sol-10-u1-ga-sparc-v4-iso
the other three are the same except they are v3, v2 and v1
Am I supposed to unzip these files and still burn them as an ISO?
Also why did... (11 Replies)
Whenever I start nfs/server using "svcadm -v enable" it appears to start up. But when I look for daemons such as nfsd I don't see any. So I checked the manifest logs for nfs/server and it's telling me the NFS service gets enabled and then immediately disabled with a stop 102.

mailstats
mailstats(1) User Commands mailstats(1)NAME
mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail
SYNOPSIS
mailstats [-o] [-c ] [-C configfile] [-f statisticsfile]
[-p] [-P]
DESCRIPTION
The mailstats utility prints out the statistics collected by the sendmail(1M) program on mailer usage. These statistics are collected if
the file indicated by the StatusFile configuration option of sendmail (defined in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf) exists. The default statistics
file is /etc/mail/statistics.
To enable mailstats, you must, as root, touch /etc/mail/statistics. See the StatusFile processing option in sendmail(1M).
mailstats first prints the time that the statistics file was created and the last time it was modified. Then, the statistics for each
mailer are displayed on a single line, each with the following whitespace-separated fields:
M The mailer number.
msgsfr Number of messages from the mailer.
bytes_from Kbytes from the mailer.
msgsto Number of messages to the mailer.
bytes_to Kbytes to the mailer.
msgsrej Number of messages rejected by the mailer.
msgsdis Number of messages discarded by the mailer.
msgsqur Number of messages quarantined by the mailer.
Mailer The name of the mailer.
The display of statistics described above is followed by a separation line containing only equal sign (=) characters. After the separation
line, a line preceded with a "T" and totaling the values for all of the mailers is displayed. This is followed by another line preceded
with a "C" that lists the number of TCP connections.
To reinitialize the statistics file once a night, add an entry to root's crontab(1):
mailstats -p > /dev/null
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configuration file.
-C configfile Specify a sendmail configuration file.
-f statisticsfile Specify a sendmail statistics file.
-o Do not display the name of the mailer in the output.
-p Output information in program-readable mode and clear statistics.
-P Output information in program-readable mode without clearing statistics.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mailstats when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
FILES
/dev/null Zero-lined file
/etc/mail/statistics Default sendmail statistics file
