Hello experts!
Can someone help me to configure sendmail v8.9.3 in HP-UX 10.2?
I would like to be able to send messages using an external SMTP server. I have configured the DNS - I can ping my smtp server.
I dont know how to configure sendmail.
In my system there is no file "sendmail.mc"...
Help!
I have no HP to look at from home... I would say you should have a /etc/mail directory containing a sendmail.cnf or .conf file...
Look around this forum for I answered not so long ago the similar question
HP-UX 10.2 was about 15 years ago.
Please post:
The main configuration file should be /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and you will be looking for the mail relay server line. Make sure that your DNS provides accurate reverse DNS lookup for the name of the SMTP relay mail server.
Thanks for the reply.
I have read several articles about the configuration of sendmail, and I used this on my own PC with Linux system and it works.
Unfortunately for HP-UX does not work ...
I added this line in / etc / mail / sendmail.cf:
If I do "ping mail.xxx.yyy.zz" I get smtp server ip number.
Well I think.
How to tell the user and password?
I also tried with mailx ...
On a Fedora system works perfectly. HP-UX runs a little worse (read does not work).
Is it possible to configure mailx on HP-UX 10.20 to use the external smtp server? Is it for this you need sendmail running?
How to make mailx to read configuration file ".mailrc"?
Best Regards.

So you configured DS line in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf...
When you say it doesnt work, what do you mean? Is it that the mail is not sent?
What external mail server are you trying to reach, an exchange server?
Check /etc/mail/sendmail.cw . Should contain two active lines referring to your local computer:
Check that the contents of service.switch match the way your normally look up host names.
Look at /usr/adm/syslog/syslog.log and /usr/adm/syslog/mail.log for any errors related to mail , then post the error messages intact here.
I checked the logs.
SMTP server rejects the connection because it requires authorization.
In Linux, I had something like this in the sendmail.mc file:
define (`confAUTH_MECHANISMS ',` EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN') dnl
FEATURE (`authinfo ',` hash / etc / mail / auth / client-info') dnl
How to modify the config for HP-UX?
Best regards.
