Hi all,
Iam unable to send mail from my unix machine(solaris x86,version 5.10) to the outside world.
I can able to access the internet,but not able to send to any yahoo or company email id.

For example:
# /usr/lib/sendmail -v <yahoo mail id>

Note:
I did not configure my machine as a DNS server but configured as DNS client.Is it necessary to configure a DNS server inorder to send email?or is it possible to make my machine itself as a mail server to send email?
