we've configured mail on DB2 data studio DSWC console. (gave mail relay server details) it used to work fine. like whenever we schedule backup jobs from DB2 side, we used to get emails after job completion.
for some reason, it stopped working now.
Please see the below info messges from mail/syslogs on AIX.
Code:
Feb 16 15:25:00 aixhost mail:info sendmail[12121]: t1DE4Jmo26017794: to=<myemail@example.com>, delay=3+06:20:41, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=14252015, relay=example.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: example.com.: host name lookup failure
Feb 16 15:25:00 aixhost mail:info sendmail[12121]: t1DE69Rl23986378: to=<myemail@example.com>, delay=3+06:18:51, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=14252017, relay=example.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: example.com. : host name lookup failure
Code:
aixhost# mailq

t1dfvdfv98564445 1712 Fri Feb 16 09:06 <Data_Studio@aixhost>
(Deferred: Name server: example.com.: host name lookup failure)
Note: we never gave the mail/relay server details on this particular aixhost. even though, i used to receive emails from data studio.
And we actually gave mail/relay server details in data studio console. mail server is "mailhost.net" ; but logs showing that realy=example.com
please provide your suggestions.
Thank you

if you send your e-mails to @example.com, first thing to do (and every e-mail client does) is to check mx record for the domain:
Code:
host -n -t mx example.com
if the domain has no mx record in DNS, the mail will be send to a server with IP of the domain:
Code:
host -n example.com
your message says, that sendmail couldn't find both of the record - neither 'mx' nor 'a' record for the domain example.com. Please address the issue to the DNS administrators of the domain.
[root@AIXHOST]/>host -n -t mx example.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by myexcz1p.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by myexcz7p.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=10) by myexcz3p.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=30) by mymail2hub.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by myexcz1p.domain.com
.....
....
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by example.compacket size error (0 != 2ff225f3)
Please see the command output.
i can not ping " example.com " from anywhere. i can do nslookup, to see the ip. but not able to ping.
Code:
[root@AIXHOST]/>host -n example.com
example.com has a address 200.x.x.x
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by myexcz1p.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by myexcz7p.domain.com
example.com mail is handled (pri=10) by myexcz3p.domain.com
.....
....
example.com mail is handled (pri=20) by example.compacket size error (0 != 2ff225f3)
do you want me to change anything on /etc/netsvc.conf or /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf ?
port 25 is open on only one server. not on all other exchnage servers
I can only telnet to "mymail2hub.domain.com". and looks like mail command worked; it prompted for subject, cc details etc. but I did not get any email message.
Please see the errors below from logs.
