    Hello Gurus,
               I am trying to send email the output of a
    cron job. This works on all the machines except one. I
    have the same configuration on all the machines( I
    don't know about mail though).In /etc/hosts we have
    the name of our exchange server(mailhost) and its
    ipaddress. When I do

    /usr/lib/sendmail -v -s "test" user@domain.com
    </dev/null
    ____________________________________________________

    both the systems dont have any name server
    specified.Mconnect command works the same on both the
    systems. I checked previous postings but could not
    troubleshoot. Thank you in advance.

    Sree.
