I am trying to get mail working on a 15 year old server which has probably never been configured to work before
The server is on a network with TCP installed and the different servers on this network can all see each other with ping and rsh
when I try this
the email error returned is this
If I do dthe same command from the local system but include the system name
This works
I am pretty sure mail to other systems has never worked on these boxes but would like to get it workling to set up some mail alerts
I have also tried sendmail but it does not seem to recognise that I am requesting mail to be sent to a different server and just sends it to the same user on the local server
There is not etc aliases file on these systems but the remote sytem is in the hosts file
This is the unix system detail if it helps
Thanks in advance for any help

mail::mailer
Mail::Mailer(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Mailer(3)NAME
Mail::Mailer - Simple interface to electronic mailing mechanisms
INHERITANCE
Mail::Mailer
is a IO::Handle
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Mailer;
use Mail::Mailer qw(mail); # specifies default mailer
$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new;
$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new($type, @args);
$mailer->open(\%headers);
print $mailer $body;
$mailer->close
or die "couldn't send whole message: $!
";
DESCRIPTION
Sends mail using any of the built-in methods. As TYPE argument to new(), you can specify any of
"sendmail"
Use the "sendmail" program to deliver the mail.
"smtp"
Use the "smtp" protocol via Net::SMTP to deliver the mail. The server to use can be specified in @args with
$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtp', Server => $server);
The smtp mailer does not handle "Cc" and "Bcc" lines, neither their "Resent-*" fellows. The "Debug" options enables debugging output
from "Net::SMTP".
You may also use the "Auth => [ $user, $password ]" option for SASL authentication. To make this work, you have to install the
Authen::SASL distribution yourself: it is not automatically installed.
"smtps"
Use the smtp over ssl protocol via Net::SMTP::SSL to deliver the mail. Usage is identical to "smtp". You have to install Authen::SASL
as well.
$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtps', Server => $server);
"qmail"
Use qmail's qmail-inject program to deliver the mail.
"testfile"
Used for debugging, this displays the data to the file named in $Mail::Mailer::testfile::config{outfile} which defaults to a file named
"mailer.testfile". No mail is ever sent.
"Mail::Mailer" will search for executables in the above order. The default mailer will be the first one found.
METHODS
Constructors
Mail::Mailer->new(TYPE, ARGS)
The TYPE is one of the back-end sender implementations, as described in the DESCRIPTION chapter of this manual page. The ARGS are
passed to that back-end.
$obj->open(HASH)
The HASH consists of key and value pairs, the key being the name of the header field (eg, "To"), and the value being the corresponding
contents of the header field. The value can either be a scalar (eg, "gnat@frii.com") or a reference to an array of scalars ("eg,
['gnat@frii.com', 'Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk']").
DETAILS
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PERL_MAILERS
Augments/override the build in choice for binary used to send out our mail messages.
Format:
"type1:mailbinary1;mailbinary2;...:type2:mailbinaryX;...:..."
Example: assume you want you use private sendmail binary instead of mailx, one could set "PERL_MAILERS" to:
"mail:/does/not/exists:sendmail:$HOME/test/bin/sendmail"
On systems which may include ":" in file names, use "|" as separator between type-groups.
"mail:c:/does/not/exists|sendmail:$HOME/test/bin/sendmail"
BUGS
Mail::Mailer does not help with folding, and does not protect against various web-script hacker attacks, for instance where a new-line is
inserted in the content of the field.
