Can anyone provide me the SUN documents URL to configure sendmail in Solaris 9. Any other good link will also do. Thanks.

I have some questions:
The server in which I want to configure is running as a DNS client. and I want to configure a local mail so I think that i need to configure mail rather than configuring sendmail.
I get a document for configuring mail in solaris from docs.sun.com. The doc name is "Mail Administration Guide for Solaris 7".
This document has the steps to configure mail but my question is:
The server is already running as DNS client, in this case Do I have to install a new naming service to configure it as mail server?
Can we configure a server as NIS server when it is already a DNS client?
Suppose there is only one server, how do you configure mail server and client server and host server..can all three be done on only one server. Here there is one server and a few PCs need to be connected to it as clients.
Any suggestions?

Whether you are running DNS or NIS in your box doesn't really matter. The important thing is to decide what type of mail host you want to configure. The easiest is, well, mailhost :), where the server adds as its own mail server. Just follow the instructions in docs.sun.com for creating a mailhost, and you'll be good to go. It's not hard.
One thing, if you are going to be sending e-mails to e-mail accounts in an MS Exchange server, you'll need to add an entry under Smart relay in sendmail.cf. You'll need to get that one from the Exchange admin, or send an e-mail to someone with an e-mail account in that Exchange server, and read the e-mail that it sends you back when your original e-mail bounces (IIRC).
