Ed> I have a project coming up to install Sendmail as a SMTP server for a Ed> software application that needs to send and receive emails. It will run Ed> on a Solaris Local Zone.
No problem; I do exactly this on my home box. Ed> I'm told I can install a completely separate Sendmail version and its Ed> binaries on the Local Zone and not use the Global Zone Sendmail binaries. You can indeed (I don't, but anyone could). Ed> Will the Local Zone need to forward outbound emails to the Global Zone or Ed> can the Local Zone connect directly to the SMTP Smarthost? The local zone can connect directly. Ed> Will the Local Zone be able to directly accept inbound SMTP connections Ed> from an SMTP Relay? Yes. Ed> Are there any How-to or other docs that detail installing opensource Ed> sendmail on Solaris Zone OS? Not that I know of, because there is no need to do anything differently in a local zone vs a global zone. Also, if you wanted to install a different MTA I would understand, but I don't understand why you would want to install "opensource sendmail", since Solaris sendmail is just the version from sendmail.org pre-compiled for you (unless you wanted different #define's enabled). -- John Sponsor my 100-mile bike ride fund raiser for the American Lung Association http://action.lungusa.org/goto/jbeck _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
