How to configure sendmail send internet mails

Sun Engineer,

Hello, the sendmail bundled with Solaris 10 experimental (Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 s10_69 December 2004) can send mails to local unix accounts, but can not send mail to external addresses outside the unix machine, even can not send to LAN users on my machine. This Solaris was installed on VMware on Windows 2000.

Currently I also can not access web page via built-in Mozila, because I can not login in Solaris Console due to the unsolved "DT messaging ..."

The Windows is internet aware, its settings show below:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.14

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Preferred DNS server : 192.168.1.3

Alternative DNS server: 192.168.1.1

Following is the Solaris settings:

# netstat -rn

Routing Table: IPv4

DestinationGatewayFlags RefUseInterface

-- -- -- --

192.168.1.0 192.168.1.68 U 19 pcn0

224.0.0.0192.168.1.68 U 10 pcn0

default 192.168.1.1 UG16

127.0.0.1127.0.0.1UH4636 lo0

# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL > mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

pcn0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 192.168.1.68 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

ether 0:c:29:94:e9:de

#

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 192.168.1.3

nameserver 192.168.1.1

$ cat /etc/defaultrouter

192.168.1.1

$

And the /etc/nsswitch.conf is just a copy of /etc/nsswitch.dns.

What am I missing? Could please help me out of this difficult.

Sincerely,

Hi,

You have to put the name of the mail relay server in the sendmail.cf file and add it to the /etc/hosts file with an alias for mailhost which should solve the mailing issues .

As for the Solaris 10 windowing system , what you can do is to upgrade to Solaris 3/05 or Solaris 1/06 which are stable releases or some of the new Nevada releases .
