Hi,

I tried to use the mailx command to send email to a private gmail account. No error displayed, but the email does not arriving the gmail.

Here's the command used.

++$ mailx -s "testing" fauziahayob@gmail.com < testmail++
++$ mailx++
++$ No mail for informix++
++$ mailx++
++No mail for informix++

Similarly, when using sendmail command, it doesn't execute successfully.

Here's the command used.

$ echo "Testing"| sendmail -v fauziahayob@gmail.com
fauziahayob@gmail.com... Connecting to midamail.mida.gov.my via relay...
fauziahayob@gmail.com... Deferred: Connection timed out with midamail.mida.gov.m
y
$

Can anyone help?
Thanks & Regards,

It looks as though your attempts have not left the AIX server. The mailq command can show you any emails still in the queue.

If you can send to internal email addresses (you@youremployer.com) but not external email addresses (you@gmail.com) then I would look at the server defined as your relay server ($DS). Perhaps that is rejecting the email.

And in addition use the -v flag of the mailx command to get verbose information.

The -v option shall be included in upon the unblocking of the IP address .

Will keep you update.

Hi Jeffgyurko,

Million thanks on your feedback. Yes, it is. The relay server is blocking request from the AIX's IP addresses. I've already spooled the request to the Network Admin and shall update you once done.

Thank you.
