The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sendmail not working on a solaris 5.10 workstation
Tags: sendmail, sendmail, sendmail, solaris 5.10, Solaris 5.10 sendmail
I just reloaded a sunfire with Solaris 10 release 08/07 and used the secure option during the initial install.  Im trying to configured sendmail on the machine.  When I send a message from the command line here is the output I receive but the message never arrives.

Ive modified the /etc/default/sendmail file and added the following lines:
MODE=
QUEUEINTERVAL=15m

I made the following change in the submit.cf file and changed D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.0.1] to D{MTAHost}[zeus]

When I do a ps and grep for sendmail the following deamons are running:

/usr/lib/sendmail q15m C /etc/mail
/usr/lib/sendmail Ac q15m

Mail on this workstation worked fine until the upgrade.

Any suggestions on what Im missing?

From the script, it looks like you are sending mail from february to february via a mail host called zeus. Starting in Solaris 10,
mail is expected to go through the local daemon and then get forwarded to the correct mail host. Why did you change the 127.0.0.1 to zeus?

I was under the impression that I needed to change the 127.0.0.1 to Zeus (mailhost).  Ill remove zeus and make it 127.0.0.1 again.  Where is the location I specify my mailhost?

Thanks,
Brian

In general, you should not change any of the *.cf files. What you should do is look at README in the /etc/mail/cf directory
for how to generate custom .cf files. If you can get the command "getent hosts mailhost" to return the IP address of zeus, then you should just be able to use the subsidiary.cf file as is. Otherwise you may need to generate new .cf files. But don't just edit them, that way lies madness.

Thanks for the quick feedback.  Mail is now working somewhat.  The only other problem I'm having is the message takes 8 minutes to flush through the queue after I send it.  I try manually flushing the queue and it says the message is locked.

I was able to figure out the problem with the delay in sending mail.
