I am using solaris 5.9 OS and I am facing an issues with mailx.
My SMTP port is configured to listen 6190 and not the default one which is 25. I can send mail to my inbox when i do it manually through the following steps
But when i use mailx I am unable to receive the mail
In one of the above lie i could notice the error
This is because the smtp is tryiong to connect to port 25 and hence getting this error.
Can somebody help me on how to change the default port number for smtp. I also tried changing the below lines in sendmail.cf but that doesnt help
where the port number was 587 initially
