Full Discussion: Mailx message not delivering externally
Operating Systems Solaris Mailx message not delivering externally Post 302928862 by Madrox72 on Monday 15th of December 2014 04:42:12 PM

Thanks for the reply jim mcnamara. Maybe my question wasn't worded correctly. The server was sending me messages to my gmail account until a few weeks ago, then it stopped. When I used to receive the message the e-mail in the from address would be "root@es1.md.usgrdc.com", which es1 is the name of my server. Now when I attempt to send an e-mail from the server I receive the messages from my original post.

I have seen some tutorials on setting up mailx to use googles mail servers, but I would like to avoid doing that at it requires a lot of re-configuration on a server that used to be able to send mail without it.
