If we update any of the configuration info while sendmail is running, refresh the sendmail subsystem by issue an SRC refresh command or by sending the daemon a SIGHUP as
#refresh -s sendmail
#kill -1 `head -1 /etc/mail/sendmail.pid`
#head -1 sendmail.pid
#more sendmail.pid
#kill -1 `head -1 sendmail.pid`
#more sendmail.pid
#ps -efgrep mail
#lssrc -s sendmail
#stopsrc -s sendmail
#ps -ef|grep mail
#lssrc -s sendmail
#startsrc -s sendmail -a'-bd -q30m'
#lssrc -s sendmail
#ls
# more sendmail.pid
Test the mail as follow:
log in as oracle
cp .profile temp
sendmail -v oracle
sendmail -v yada@yada.com
cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/jayp
cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/vogtb
cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/doanl
