Roland> I have a small problem with my "sendmail" setup in Solaris Roland> 11/B48/SPARC and can't make heads or tails out of the problem...
First, you should not be editing sendmail.cf directly, but instead you should take a copy of the .mc file, modify that, then build the .cf from the .mc and install the .cf in /etc/mail: * cd /etc/mail/cf/cf * cp sendmail.mc foo.mc Pick whatever value you want for "foo"; `hostname` is often useful. * Edit foo.mc * make foo.cf * cp foo.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf * svcadm restart sendmail Roland> ... does anyone know what may be wrong in this case ? For your particular mod, you want the SMART_HOST macro: define(`SMART_HOST', `mailout.uni-giessen.de')dnl in your .mc file. Note that using the SMART_HOST macro tends to punt everything to the smart host instead of trying MX records first, then punting to the smart host only as a fall-back. Since MX records are an Internet standard, the latter behavior is the default in Solaris; see http://blogs.sun.com/jbeck/entry/no_more_main_vs_subsidiary for details. -- John _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
