Solaris 2.6 mail configuration - octaneirix6530 - 04-13-2021
Hello,
How do I properly configure sendmail ? For now, I can send mails, but the domain name is incorrect (it is set to the hostname which
is sparcstation5).
Sending mails to the sparcstation fail. I receive an error mail saying something is not properly configured.
Thank you for your help

Solaris comes with a standard sendmail. The best way to configure this is usually following a configuration tutorial closely, rather than fixing individual problems.
BTW: there are many reasons not to use sendmail: the common inability to properly configure it without reading a few hundred pages of documentation is one thing; insecurity and bugs, more bugs, and way more bugs are other reasons...

I understand. If you had asked me 15 to 20 years ago, I would have been able to tell you what's wrong, but I haven't touched sendmail in 15 years I think. Last time I actually needed to turn a Sun into a mail server, I used qmail on Solaris 9.
