configuring sendmail for a private network.
Hello ALL,
My goal is to have users(Unix Users like root on host1) use evolution /sendmail to send and receive emails between users( Unix users either from host1 or any other host on n a private network.
The network is a private network with a few servers without any connection to Internet and no DNS.
They resolve one another by /etc/hosts.
with smtp configured am able to send and receive emails on one machine(host1) from unix user abc on host1 to user xyz on host1 and vice versa.
the commad i used to test is
host1@abc #echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host1
But when i tried sending from user abc on host1 to user xyz on host2 its giving error for DNS unable to resolve hostname.
the commad i used to test is
host1@abc# echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host2
I am a newbie on sendmail and hence needs help
can someone help me to create a simple sendmail config so that i can send mails between multiple hosts using unix usernames within one network.
I can use one of the server as mail server and rest as clients.
I dont want to configure any other softwares for pop or imap access.
I want to keep it simple and use evolution on the clients to send emails between one another on the private network without internet.
Thanks in advance for the help
