Hi All,

I have Solaris-10 box with 11 sparse root zone. After a upgrade activity and reverted back due to some issues, sendmail is not working on any of the Non Global Zone (NGZ), while it works fine on Global zone

Please check local_only parameter for sendmail through below command

 
svcprop sendmail | grep local_only

This must be set to false to allow remote access.

Vishal, it is already set to false

/# svcprop sendmail | grep local_only
config/local_only boolean false
