I am using sendmail as SMTP on Solaris and BIND on
solaris.Also POP3 on Solaris.
I added the 'dns' against 'hosts' entry in
nsswitch.conf since I was not able to send mail from
my internal mail server account to an outside mail
account say yahoo or hotmail.
Now I am not able to send emails between two of my
internal mail accounts.Also not able to receive emails
from outside domain in my internal accounts.
Have SMTP server server setup to use DNS.
Pl let me know why my internal mail account cannot be
reachable from outside.However the domain of my mail
server is able to be resolved.
Thanks
