Help sendmail configuration on AIX 4.2 -Host Name Lookup failure

Help sendmail configuration on AIX 4.2 -Host Name Lookup failure

Post by l.. » Thu, 10 Jun 1999 04:00:00



Hi,
We are configuring sendmail on a new rs6000 with AIX 4.2 and when we
issue the following

$ /usr/lib/sendmail -v max < /etc/test  

we get back the following



Lookup Failure

We are a small environment and do not use DNS or plan to.

Can anyone help with what the problem is. We are using m4 to build mc
file to create the sendmail.cf.

Anyhelp would be appreciated by sending email to me

tnx
les

 
 
 

1. Net configuration, Host name lookup failure

I still have a problem with my configuration. Perhaps someone can give
me a hint, where to look for more info.

If I type

% telnet localhost

I get a "Host name lookup failure". this happens with and without a
running named. Of course, my /etc/hosts file has correct permissions (I
had even set it to 777, just to try it out). The commands 'hostname' and
'domainname' give correct results, though. I don't know what can still
be wrong with my setup.

        Thanks
                Rolf
