mail setup in AIX

Hi All,

We are using IBM AIX.
I have to send an automated mail from unix. For which i tried

mail -s "test message" <mail id> 

It didn't give me any error message. but i didn't get any mail. On checking mail command, i see the below details.

Final-Recipient: RFC822; mugundan@itti.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 554 mailfrom without . in domain part is administratively
denied
Last-Attempt-Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:38:46 GMT

--n9KCckP446596.1256042326/IBMAIX
Content-Type: message/rfc822

Any help will be great.

Thanks,

Mugundan

Also moving it to AIX subforum, just in case.

Hi,
You can check your SMTP configuration cause, i think, your email unable to be sent just for this error.
A bad question ? have you install a MTA or Not ?

Sorry about the question.
Can you explain how to do the SMTP setup or other setups required for Mailx.
