Please I need information on how to setup sendmail on my solaris box.

If I use mailx now, nothing happens. sendmail is running but I assume it is not properly configured.

I have a mail server on a win2000 machine.

Please any hint will be appreciated

Thanks
 
Put the Windows 2000 machine's IP address in /etc/hosts as follows:

[tt]1.2.3.4 win2000machine mailhost[/tt]

And see if it works.

Look at /var/log/syslog to see sendmail error messages if it doesn't work. Annihilannic.
