AIX

Hi,

I need to send alert mail from AIX to mail server.

My mail server IP is 192.168.0.10

so I've add /etc/hosts as below

192.168.0.10 mydomain1.com

the I try to send mail to myname@mydomain1.com it's OK

Then I need to send mail to myname@mydomain2.com too.

so I've add /etc/hosts as below

192.168.0.10 mydomain1.com mydomain2.com

then I try to send mail to myname@mydomain2.com but it's not work.

Could you please help for this problem ?

Have a look /etc/sendmail.cf (from memory. It might be /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf) You will need to uncomment and code up the DS record. I don't think it needs an equals sign or whatever. Take out the # comment so your file will have a record (mixed up with all the comments) of:-

Code:

#
DSmymailserever.mydomain

#
You will need to ensure that you can resolve the name, so use the value in DNS, or better still, use a DNS alias. You need to be able to ping the server on the smtp port - I can't remember which that is, but look in /etc/services for that.


I hope that this helps.
