Problem sending mail after IP/hostname change
Hello,
I had to replace my Solaris 10 workstation with the other one because of hardware issues. I need to configure the new WS with the same configuration. It looked like it was using DHCP before and I was able to send mail with mailx command. Since old HW used static IP I have disabled DHCP and modified
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.eri0
to handle the new configuration of a static IP and now I'm getting mail delivery subsystem warnings: Deferred: Connection timed out with foo.com
Could anybody give me a hint how to troubleshoot this? Obviously It was working before and problem is not in foo.com
when I do nslookup foo.com (foo is not my real domain) it comes back with IP address. Any ideas?
Thanks,
PN

defaultrouter
defaultrouter(4) File Formats defaultrouter(4) NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s) SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s). The format of the file is as follows: IP_address ... The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at the time that defaultrouter is read. Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments. The default routes listed in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted. Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an IPv4 router. You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior. FILES
