Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Trace sendmail for Trusted Solaris Information

  1. Assume the System Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

  2. Go to the /etc/init.d directory and stop sendmail.


    $ cd /etc/rc2.d
    $ sendmail stop
    
  3. Debug sendmail using the sendmail -d command followed by the category 75 optionally followed by a dot (.) and a level, followed by a space and the address, followed by a message.

    A message can be included either by redirecting the contents of a file to the address, as shown below, or by entering return at the end of the line. In the latter case, a Subject: prompt comes up; after entering the subject, you can create a message from the command line, using the syntax of the mail(1) command.


    $ /usr/lib/sendmail -d75.9 janez@tern < /etc/motd
    
  4. Review the error messages.

  5. Restart sendmail when you are through.


    $ cd /etc/init.d
    $ sendmail start
    
  6. Return to Step 7 in "To Check Network Connections for Sending Mail" if the user still has trouble sending or receiving mail.
