Configuring sendmail on Solaris 10 servers

I can send mail to myself within my server but I can get the server to succesfully send mail Out to other servers and to my Outlook email address. Please help. Thanks.

I copied some missing files from another server. I was able to complete the re-installation of sendmail. Unfortunately, I am back to square one.
I still cannot send mail to my host machine or to my Outlook. I am not getting any errors. Something is preventing mail messages from going out. When I enter, i get the correct syntax:
# mailx <USERNAME>@<HOST>
Subject:
<MESSAGE>CTRL D
EOT
But no mail has been received under /var/mail. Please help!!! Thanks.

Steps to Configure Sendmail in Solaris 9

Can anyone provide me the SUN documents URL to configure sendmail in Solaris 9.
Any other good link will also do.
Thanks.

I have some questions:
The server in which I want to configure is running as a DNS client. and I want to configure a local mail so I think that i need to configure mail rather than configuring sendmail.
I get a document for configuring mail in solaris from docs.sun.com. The doc name is "Mail Administration Guide for Solaris 7".
This document has the steps to configure mail but my question is:
The server is already running as DNS client, in this case Do I have to install a new naming service to configure it as mail server?
Can we configure a server as NIS server when it is already a DNS client?
Suppose there is only one server, how do you configure mail server and client server and host server..can all three be done on only one server. Here there is one server and a few PCs need to be connected to it as clients.
Any suggestions?

Re-installing and configuring Sendmail on Solaris 10

I made many attempts to configure my sendmail on a Solaris 10 server, but i could not mail out to anything. Assuming that sendmail files were corrupted, I uninstalled sendmail. I tried re-installing it from CD #1 of the Solaris 10 install CD, but it was giving me problems where I could not obtain the SUNWsndmr and SUNWsndmu packages.
I tried copying them from another Solaris server, but I could not get all of the files using .tar and .tar.gz once I extracted them. I tried installing sendmail.org's version of sendmail but I keep getting the following errors while running sh Build and ./makeinstall:
"# ./makesendmail
Configuration: pfx=, os=SunOS, rel=5.10, rbase=5, rroot=5.10, arch=sun4, sfx=, variant=optimized
Making in /admin/free_software/sendmail-8.12.10/obj.SunOS.5.10.sun4/sendmail
../devtools/bin/Build: make: not found"
It is urgent that I get sendmail to work. Please advise. Thanks. :)

How to configure sendmail to use multiple LDAP servers ?

Hi everybody!
I have a sendmail running on Solaris 10 and a LDAP server(192.168.1.9) also running Solaris 10 OS. I have configured the sendmail the following way:
bash-3.00# ldapclient list
NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0
NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=email,dc=reso,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}*********************
NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 192.168.1.9
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=email,dc=domain,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_AUTH= simple
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= FALSE
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= sub
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30
NS_LDAP_CACHETTL= 43200
NS_LDAP_PROFILE= default
NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy
NS_LDAP_BIND_TIME= 10
I also have another LDAP server (IP 192.168.1.10). It is configured as a replicant of the 192.168.1.9 LDAP server.
The question is how can i configure sendmail to use both LDAP servers ?
The man pages explain how to configure ldapclient to use ONE server and what if want to use two or more? All the settings and the profiles the same.
Thanks in advance =))

Hi!
To add LDAP servers to the Solaris ldapclient, you might use the ldapclient command:
ldapclient manual -v -a defaultServerList="servera.yourdomain.com serverb.yourdomain.com"
But this is only failover, AFAIK the Solaris ldapclient does not perform loadbalancing by itself.
But I am not sure about your sendmail programm. Normally, sendmail has its own configuration
and can be configured to use LDAP e.g. for aliases etc.

Configure sendmail to reject all incomming mail?

how would i configure sendmail on solaris8 to reject or trash all incomming email and still maintain capability to send email?

I found this thread useful and wonder why it some of this information isn't more readily available. Webservers shouldn't be running at mailservers and so the sendmail daemon doesn't boot up. Mail at cron and through .cgi/perl scripts utilize the sendmail on the servers I manage.
BUT -- in the last six months I find I'm having to reconfigure the sendmail.cf to find a way around an email configuration problem in our networks somewhere.
I've normally used the smart relay without problem. Now, even though I have the "connect" for mail going out to several different mail relays on the domain, the mail does not get delivered. I've tried to trace it down to one relay and have been unsuccessful.
The solution, and I don't understand it, is that we've setup a mail relay on a windows box in our domain and I've edited the sendmail.cf to use that mail relay instead of the smart relay.
In addition, and this is really strange to me, but I'm not a sendmail guru -- we're masquerading as a hotmail.com
If we don't masquerade as hotmail.com and use our own relay, the mail receipients don't receive mail occasionally. Both of these have to be in place for it to work successfully.
I think someone, somewhere, has a rule setup incorrectly, but it's beyond the relays we normally default to. With the mail relay setup in our domain, it accepts the mail because it's a relay, but what kind of rule would they possibly setup that accepts us masquerading as someone else???
Can anyone help explain this?
I personally would love to see some documentation on how an SA could setup sendmail.cf for their webservers as outgoing and have it RIGHT.
Thanks for listening.... feel free to say something. :-)

Dears,
I need help in configuring CUPS for Solaris 10 X86 as well as on SPARC.
What i did?
Downloaded the CUPS 1.5.0
read the readme.txt
read the INSTALL.txt
Pre-req installation requires :-
CFLAGS= -i /some/directory \
CPPFLAGS = -i /some/directory \
CXXFLAGS = -I /some/directory \

Configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
see 'config.log' for more details
I installed all the missing dependencies from www.sunfreeware.com and I have the same problem.
I also tried to install the software packages from the operating system dvd... like for
ls -lrt gcc
gcc "SUNWgcc", "SUNWgccS", "SUNWgccruntime"
ls -lrt cc

ls -lrt gawk
no results
ls -lrt mawk
no results
ls -lrt cl.exe
no results
Is there any way should i follow apart from the above?
Rgds,

Check pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc.

Configuring networking on Solaris 10

How do I configure networking on Solaris 10, is there a single command or must I edit each file individually?
If so, what's the format of /etc/hostname.hme0

turnstile:
That advice will only work if the original poster has
a Sun SPARC system with certain integrated 10/100 Ethernet.
They didn't tell us what system they actually had.
The device instance name applies to its associated chipset.
HME is different from ERI, is different from DMFE, is different from DNET, is different from IPBR, etc, etc, etc.
etcetra:
Do the sys-unconfig procedure. If you have a recognized network controller,
it will prompt you with sufficient questions to configure it,
particularly if you do not know what actual chipset you might have,
and want a setup that survives a reboot.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't have any idea, since all that's used here is postfix. For development stuff, peruse or post to the developer forums under OS X Technologies or to the appropriate Server Products forum.

Install and configuring SAMBA in Solaris 8.0

Hi
Can any one help tme to install and configure SAMBA on solaris 8.0
Thanks in advance

We don't provide sudo for Solaris 8, but you can try with the package available there : http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/download.html#binary
They don't provide a specific package for Solaris 8 but may be will the binary working correctly in your zone.
An other package, and is builded for Solaris 8, is available on www.sunfreeware.com website.
Regarding the configuration, the method can differ depending on which version you will use. You can find a lot of examples on Internet if you want for details.

Configuring IPSec in Solaris 9

Hello Friends,
I want to configure IPSec in solaris 9 so that a win2k/XP machine can communicate with that solaris m/c using IPSec. Could anybody help me regarding this. I have a basic idea of IPSec. I just want a step by step instructions for how to configure it. I have searched through google and found many docs which instructs how to configure IPSec between solaris only and also between windows only and I have succeeded to do so. But failed to configure it within solaris and windows.
Thanks and Regards
Dipta P Banerjee

yes, you can use oracle thin driver.
Your connection pool configuration is actually using datasource of oracle thin driver.
1) download oracle thin driver from oracle
2) .jar need to be kept in AS_INSTALL/domains/<domain-name>/lib/ext
3) restart AS
4) set all the necessary properties for Oracle thin driver - conn. pool (refer App Server Administration Guide > JDBC Resources > Config. for specific JDBC Drivers > Oracle thin type 4 driver
5) Ping conn. pool
If you are still getting the failure message, please post
1) exception got during ping, from domains/<domain-name>/logs/server.log
2) connection pool configuration
Thanks,

What do you mean by having done the necessary sendmail changes?
From what I understand, your question cannot be easily answered without knowing your security or Firewall DMZ requirements. You may have to define a default mail relay gateway on your sendmail server to relay all outgoing messages to a specific relay mail server for forwarding to the Internet.
You may also have to define approprate mail exchange MX records in your DNS.
Perhaps you can use Sendmail's personal mail forwarding. Sendmail allows individual users to define their own forwarding. The user defines personal forwarding in the .forward file in the home directory. Sendmail checks for this file after using the aliases file and before making final delivery to the user. If the .forward file exists, sendmail delivers the mail as directed by that file. For example, say that user oracle has a .forward file in the home directory that contains [email protected]

How to configure sendmail for outgoing only?

I have another custom application running on port 25, listening to the email traffic there. However, I still need to send mail from the localhost to the internet. I need a way to configure sendmail such that it will send mail but either not listen at all, or listen on a different port. I have tried fiddling with the sendmail.cf file, but without success.
Please forward replys to [email protected]

I'm not sure you can do it by fiddling with the cf file as I'm not sure the cf has the features you need turned on.
You better off tweaking an mc file and generating a whole new cf.
The bit you need in the mc file is
DAEMON_OPTIONS(``Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA'')dnl
FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl
An alternative that I prefer is to create the file /etc/default/sendmail containing
MODE="-bd -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=127.0.0.1"

Configure sendmail host on Solaris 8

I have a used Ultra 10 running Solaris 8 and am trying to set up Internet email. The system is on a LAN behind a router with a static IP. I can telnet in and out thru the router using DNS just fine.
The nodename of the box is "bouffner." Trying to set up the box as a Mail Server, I put the following line in the /hosts file:
10.1.200.2 bouffner mailhost mailhost.lgsdev.com
When I run /usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0 </dev/null, I get:
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = mailhost
(canonical domain name) $j = mailhost.lgsdev.com
(subdomain name) $m = lgsdev.com
(node name) $k = bouffner
========================================================
also /usr/lib/mail/sh/check-hostname reports the fully-qualified hostname as 'mailhost.lgsdev.com.'
Is this correct? I don't believe the domain name should include "mailhost" should it?
I don't know if it works or not since network solutions hasn't done their thing yet.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Ben
