Symptoms

mailx not working post QFSD patching

Cause

sendmail configuration overwritten during patching
sendmail was patched

Solution

edit the sendmail.cf and submit.cf for mail routing and add user smmsp to the trusted-users configuration.

Example:

1. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
search for Foo
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Dj$w.oracle.com
# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical
CP.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.oracle.com

2. Edit /etc/mail/submit.cf

vi /etc/mail/submit.cf
search for Foo
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Dj$w.oracle.com
# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical
CP.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.oracle.com

3. Edit /etc/mail/trusted-users

vi /etc/mail/trusted-users
root
smmsp

4. Restart the mail services

svcadm restart svc:/network/sendmail-client:default
svcadm restart svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
