Hello,
We are using exchange server in our environment. I need to configure mailx to send email from Solaris box to one mail I'd which is on exchange server. I know ip of exchange server.. Let me know where should I configure that ip to do the needful?
In Solaris it is probably most easy to define a host alias mailhost for your mail server's IP-addr.
getent mailhost
should state the IP-addr.
If you use a DNS server, this is the place to define the mailhost .
If you have many Solaris systems, and they use DNS, then they all will send to it.
If you don't use DNS, you can define mailhost in /etc/inet/hosts.
--
As an alternative, you can put the mailserver behind the DS entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with no space, like DSservername .
It might be that servername can be an IP-address, otherwise you need to map one in DNS or /etc/inet/hosts.
After a change in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf you need to restart the service with
svcadm restart sendmail
Hi
