Hi, We have two machines a) running Solaris 8, and b) running RH 7.0 -both are having public IP's. >From the linux box I am able to send e-mails to any account eg : yahoo acoount. But from the Sun box I am not able to send any mails, smtp error given is host unknown (550). >From the linux box I use mail command to send e-mails and from the sun box I use mailx to do the same job( mailx is same as mail ).
Below is what I understand is pre-requisite for sending an e-mail. Please correct me if I am wrong. a) No authentication is required for sending mails. b) We do need a SMTP server eg : sendmail, postfix. or the mail client should be configured with the SMTP server IP address. Sendmail is currently not running on the linux box.and I am unable to telnet to port 25. Sendmail is installed and running on the Sun box. Please can anyone suggest on the following : a) How can I send e-mail from the Sun Box ? b) How is the linux box able to send mails outside inspite of not running any SMTP server ? c) If at all I need the sun box to accept mails, then it can only be done for a particular domain with the MX record pointing to the sun box, right ? Thank you for your time and reply in advance. Warm regards, Vijay. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
