[SunHELP] sendmail

[Mark D. Harrison]

Yea, the problem is that in Solaris 9 the default Sendmail config routes all
traffic to localhost (127.0.0.1).  grep 127 out of /etc/mail/* and you'll
see what I mean.  The easiest way to prevent that is to disable sendmail
from starting (mv /etc/rc2.d/S...sendmail s...sendmail).

Glad to hear you got it working.

Cheers,

Mark

Hello,
I have no domain.
I have solved the problem as follows:
 Now i do not start sendmail in rc2.d . I dont need it.
Sendmail was starting with the default installation.

Thanks
