Hello,
In a Sun E250 running Solaris 5.6, I create a mail, and it apperas as
being sent, but I do not receive it:
# mail root
text
# mailq
Mail queue is empty
# mail
No mail.
# mailx root
Subject: text
lll
ET
# mail
No mail.
# mailq
Mail queue is empty
#
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf contains:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
#DSmailhost.$m
DSmail.x.com
DRmail.x.com
/var/log/syslog contains:

relay=mail.x.com [a.b.c.d], stat=Sent (sehan022as.x.com: Message
accepted for delivery)
Apparently the mail is sent, but to external SMTP (mail.x.com). Should
mail to internal user (root) go directly to this user, and not via the
SMTP (mail.x.com) ?

Hello again,

Replacing DRmail.x.com with DR in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
DR
made sendmail to local user work K.

How do I set up sendmail to send mail to external user ?
