Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Not able to send the mail using mail and mailx command Post 302759001 by MadeInGermany on Monday 21st of January 2013 07:26:41 AM

Run a sendmail test:
sendmail -bv abc@xyz.com
Look at DSsmarthost in /etc/{mail/}sendmail.cf
The "smarthost" or "smtp gateway" is part of the SMTP infrastructure where you plug in; it can be a host or (better) an MX record.
An MX record can be looked up with
nslookup -q=mx xyz.com or
dig -t mx xyz.com

SENDMAILCONFIG(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 SENDMAILCONFIG(8)

NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload] DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems. In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file. Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will avoid this question. FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf actual sendmail configuration file /etc/mail/sendmail.cw names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration /etc/mail/sendmail.ct names of trusted users in the standard configuration SEE ALSO
