Operating Systems Solaris mailx/sendmail configuration/set up problem Post 302497682 by aychbee45 on Thursday 17th of February 2011 06:32:49 PM

Well, if you are trying to send email outside the company, your box has to be on a network with outside access. Check your /etc/resolv.conf file for the "nameserver" value. You have to have a valid DNS server to route outside of your subnet.

Unless you are DHCP'ing your server, then you've probably go to contact your netadmin to see what's up.
