[comp.mail.sendmail] setting up mail exchangers under SunOS 4.1

hughes@packrat.csee.usf.EDU (Ken Hughes) (11/29/90)

We will be losing our only working mail exchanger in two days and have
come to realize we don't know how to setup another system to take its
place.   We would like each system on our Sun network to be able to send
directly to other systems connected via TCP and use MX records when
appropriate.

1) Do we need to have each system running sendmail.mx?

2) Do we need to do any special configuration in sendmail.cf to utilize
    the MX information?

3) What are the appropriate RFC's for this subject (if any), and are
    there any other sources for this information?

Any and all e-mail responses would be greatly appreciated; we are really
under the gun here.  Send them directly to root@sol.csee.usf.edu.
