sendmail ignoring(?) .forward for some servers

edited Jul 29, 2015 11:51AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered ✓

I am having a problem with some Solaris 10 servers and email.  Ultimately the email should come to my Outlook inbox via .forward file in root's home directory.  The process is working for about 1 half of my servers and failing on the others.  Failed email ends up routed to me as "Undeliverable".

All servers are running Solaris 10 at the same patch level:

$cat /etc/release

                   Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 s10s_u11wos_24a SPARC

$uname -a

SunOS kermittest 5.10 Generic_150400-17 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220

Here's a simple sample run from the command line and sending email to root.  The email should forward to MyRealAcct@corp.FQDN but sendmail tries to send it to root@sender.FQDN.

Howdy, Stranger!
