Question Hi mario
I tried using
mailx -s "Test Message" kapilvisht@usa.net < mail.txt
But i got a mail back saying that the action failed an dthe mail could not be delivered.
Can you tell me what settings do i have to make to my sendmail.cf file
?
Thanks In Advance
Answer Hello,
1. if you are using a mail server that does not allow forwarding you would also get this
message. Check out if you server allows forwarding.
2. if your domainname is not registered on the internet you are not able to send mails from this workstation
using sendmail. You could modify your sendmail.cf file so that another domain is choosen if sending mails to the world. But i don't know how to do that, instead i use a shareware tool called smtpclient. Modify the source code and compile it on your system.
