Thanks for the reply. This is what I get
ps -ef|grep -i mail
root 2000 1 0 Mar 04 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpd -H ki2_isp1 -r
ki2_isp1 is the server it is on
I am not sure what you mean by network topology but for ease to get this working I am using servers all on the same flat network and there are no firewalls eq server 1 is 10.1.1.17 server 2 is 10.1.1.19 and there is only a hub between them no routes need to be setup. I am therefor assuming the SMTP gateway would be the IP address of the server I am on but do not know wher to set this up
I have read a bit on send mail and have initiated /etc/init.d/sendmail start and now when I do a ps -ef |grep -i mail i get
root 2000 1 0 Mar 04 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpd -H ki2_isp1 -r
root 10593 1 0 11:26:25 ? 0:00 /usr/ucblib/sendmail -bd -q30m but this process dies after a few mins but not sure where to look for errors
I have tried sending another mail while this process is still running
mail root@cro_isp1
fhfdsslkas
UX:mail: ERROR: Can't send to !cro_isp1!root (root@cro_isp1)
UX:mail: ERROR: Return to root
and get the above error and the bolw error in the email of the sending server

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.
