send email from Solaris to windows

[cgswong]

Hi all,

I have a Solaris box which I would like to be able to send email from to a Windows destination network. The email server is running Windows 2000, and the clients receiving the email is running W2000 as well. Does anyone know how to do this, or have a good source of reference?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am just in the process of (attempting) to set this up myself. From what i have found out so far you need to use 'sendmail' and configure the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.
If you have it then the Solaris 'Mail Admin Guide' looks like it will do the job if you have got it. Might also also be worth looking at

Open admintool and run "mailer" program from application. While configuring mailer just specify the postoffice address as the IP address of e-mail server.

I have tried above thing and it is working successfully. The windows user will get e-mail from the unix user who is sending the mail.

But i have not tried the reverse(sending mail from windows to unix)


-rbm

rbm,

I have same problem here, how to find "mailer" in admintool? I can't find it in admintool on solaris 8 intel version. Thanks!

I am sorry, by mistake i wrote admintool instead of xserver. Mailer is in application folder alongwith imageedit, desktop control, package builder and other tools.

Sorry, I am not able to tell u exact location, because just now i am not having my solaris box and i tried this before 3 months.
