maybe your new server dunno how to forward the email, maybe you need to specify a mailhost or maybe some config missing.
Go to the "/" root filesystem and check if there is any file called dead.letter.
type mailq to check if your mails are stuck in the queue.
on solaris servers there is a syslog log file whenever you send email out it will log to that file, check your syslog for more clues. Maybe syslog will say mails are dererred or error or remote server terminated you.
Lastly you can try few things which can reveal more details on what's going on in the email sending process
banner test > /tmp/xxx
/usr/lib/sendmail -v
youremail@hotmail.com < /tmp/xxx
or
(assuming from your above code your localhost is your mailhost)
First open 2 sessions.
1st session do a tail -f /var/log/syslog
2nd session do
telnet localhost 25
mail from:
darthvader@yourdomain.com
rcpt to:
youremail@hotmail.com
data
test
test
test
. <---- once you type the termination "." it will immed attempt to send the email. Then at the same time switch to first session(tail -f) to check syslog and see what it says.
