Configure sendmail with SMTP

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello,

I'm trying to configure sendmail with SMTP authentication on a SunOS 5.11 operating system. I have been read various documentation / tutorials and unfortunately is not working. I need help from someone who has configured smtp on this operating system.

When I try to send a mail, I have the following error:

The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<username&test.com>

----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 <username&test.com>... Host unknown (Name server: mailhost.localhost.localhost.com: host not found)



--w5RL4kWQ029892.1530133486/localhost.localhost.com
Content-Type: message/delivery-status

Reporting-MTA: dns; localhost.localhost.com
Received-From-MTA: DNS; localhost

Final-Recipient: RFC822; username&test.com

Status: 5.1.2
Remote-MTA: DNS; mailhost.localhost.localhost.com

--w5RL4kWQ029892.1530133486/localhost.localhost.com

I've looked into the sendmail configuration files to change host mailhost.localhost.localhost.com with my smtp server, but it does not exist.

In /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to the line

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

... where is DS we put the smtp server, I restarted the services and unfortunately the hostname does not change.

Thanks in advance.

Can you show us the command you are using to send the mail? (The actual command, not a call to a script that has it embedded)

The output might suggest that you are trying to write to username&test.com and perhaps that should be username@test.com

It might be that simple, but if you can show us, then we will be better placed to help.

Kind regards,
Robin

Thank you for your answer.

To send emails i am using the command sendmail & mailx echo "This is the test message" | sendmail -v -r "test@localhost.com" username@test.com
As you can see the error message, don't have anything to do whit the email address. (Name server: mailhost.localhost.localhost.com: host not found)

I put my self & becose forum wont let me put @ and cant open a new thread.
