Hello Good People of Linux World!!!
Background: Recent Networking Graduate, thrown in line of fire.
For the past couple of days I have been searching online for answers and haven't gotten anywhere regarding Mailx, Sendmail functionality on SunOS 5.9.
My dilemma:
Mailx / sendmail are not sending emails (not inside or outside our network).
Machine:
SunOS tmusid01 5.9 Generic_118559-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
Tried:
echo "3PM" | mailx -s "Subject3PM" murtuza@live.ca
and it doesn't show any errors or such at that time.
But then, I get this email after a while

What does this mean?
What configuration/log files should I be looking into?
What can be done to fix this problem?
I look forward from hearing and learning from you experienced campaigners.
Cheers,
