Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a Unix server with SunOS 5.8 installed on it. I have set a cron job which will send mail across the two different networks. As of now i can only send mails to the abc.com who owns the server but would also like to send it to xyz.com is there any setting or parameter wherein i need to add "xyz.com"

Thanks in advance.

how do you verify that xyz.com is not being emailed? if your email setup can send an email to abc.com, there is no reason it cannot send email to other domains ... it is entirely possible, however, that xyz.com is filtering your server's emails and not letting it pass through their firewall ...

telnet xyz.com 25

You should get a 220 header:

220 xyz.com ESMTP Postfix (2.0.6) (Mandrake Linux)

Type 'quit' to end the session

221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

That tells you that you can resolve xyz.com and that they're accepting e-mail from your server.

If it times out, someone's blocking e-mail (port 25) or they don't have e-mail listening on xyz.com (smtp's down). Maybe you need mail.xyz.com. If you can't resolve xyz.com, you'll need to check your /etc/hosts files or ensure that DNS is properly functioning.
