can not send mail from unix server to company/yahoo mail
hi, Gurus,
I need some help with sending mail out from my UNIX server:
It is running Solaris 2.6 and the sendmail version is 8.8.
Output of :/usr/lib/sendmail -d0.1 -bt < /dev/null
Version 8.8.8+Sun
Compiled with: LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NDBM NETINET
NETUNIX NIS NISPLUS QUEUE SCANF SMTP XDEBUG
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = my_server
(canonical domain name) $j = my_server.my_companydomain.com
(subdomain name) $m = my_companydomain.com
(node name) $k = my_server
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
When I ran "mailx/mail" , it gave me " User Unknown" error and save my message into a dead.letter. Can somebody tell me what do I need to change in my sendmail.cf file? My only purpose is trying to send file in this server to somebody in my company's e-mail account.
Message from syslog:
Nov 19 13:48:07 my_server sendmail[9885]: NAA09885: to=somebody@my_company.com, delay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, stat=queued
Thanks!

local.users
local.users(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual local.users(4)
NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.
DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for
a description of other local users.
You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.
A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.
The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line.
Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line.
After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: #
/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.
# Another comment. mariah # Another comment.
carey # Leading blanks are acceptable.
FILES
Specifies the path name for the file.
