Sendmail configuration in AIX 5.3

[cometoAIX]

I have a p.570 with AIX 5.3, named iss7 , no DNS, no joint Domain

Window Domain name: abc.com
so Windows Mail server: srv-mail.abc.com

i have a mail account, it's def@abc.com

I want to send mail from p.570 (root@localhost) to def@abc.com

How can I config?

I've read some in this forum and try many times but...

I tried to change some thing in sendmail.cf, /etc/host, /etc/netsvc.conf
* sendmail.cf:
DSsrv-mail.abc.com
Dwiss7
* /etc/hosts
192.168.117.2 srv-mail.abc.com

* /etc/netsvc.conf
host=local4,bind4

Plzz help me...

The way i did it to my AIX boxes is to give the address of the mail server as the domain name in the /etc/hosts file! Not sure if this is a good practice but it is working!

vi /etc/hosts
192.168.117.2 abc.com

and then make sure that the sendmail is running

lssrc -s sendmail

and then just use the sendmail (or just mail) command to send to def@abc.com!

Good luck.

I did the same way as your advise. But It's not working.
I use ping command to 192.168.117.2 It's OK.
telnet 192.168.117.2 25 --->

bash-2.05b$ telnet 192.168.117.2 25
Trying...
Connected to 192.168.117.2.

Plss, help me!!!

When I sendmai to def@abc.com with sendmail command:
bash-2.05b$ echo "test" | sendmail -v def@abc.com
/conv/test/dead.letter... Saved message in /conv/test/dead.letter
bash-2.05b$

bash-2.05b$ more ./dead.letter
