Sendmail and mailx

[cleanair4me46]

I have tried sendmail and mailx commands with no success on our Solaris 10 web server. Please advise a reason why sendmail and mailx might not be working on our server?
I assume there is some setting or permissions the system admin needs to fix?

First thing to check is if you have a mailhost defined. Either in DNS, [tt]/etc/hosts[/tt] or in the [tt]DS[/tt] entry in [tt]/etc/mail/sendmail.cf[/tt].

Personally, I have used Postfix for years.. much easier to configure / troubleshoot IMHO...

First thing you'll have to do is specify the IP adress of your mail server withing the sendmail.cf file ...
