sendmail[29572]: [ID 801593 mail.info] n12J11fw029572: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30329, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] ()
- I ping 127.0.0.1 and it says that its alive

- I checked sendmail and it is running

- I tried to send a test email but nothing happens it seems that it hangs

Quote:
echo "TEST MAIL" | sendmail -v root@localhost
- What is the possible cause of this?

is your solaris box configured as a DNS client?

relay=[127.0.0.1]

means that your machine is configured as smtp-server in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

if thats true, check if port 25 is open, netstat -an | grep -i listen


if your server is not a mail server, ask for the ip of the right server, write it to sendmail.cf and restart you service
