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

NAME
rcvpack - append message to file SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/rcvpack file [-mbox] [-mmdf] [-version] [-help] DESCRIPTION
The rcvpack program will append a copy of the message to the file listed on its command line. If the -mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.). If the -mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline. rcvpack will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize access to the file, when running multiple copies of rcvpack . In general, its use is obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although it might still have occasional uses in various shell scripts. FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file SEE ALSO
rcvdist(1), rcvstore(1), rcvtty(1), slocal(1) BUGS
Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be. MH.6.8 11 June 2012 RCVPACK(1)
