Sendmail relay configuration on AIX
This document describes how to set up a Sendmail e-mail gateway or relay which will be able to process incoming mail and route it to different mail servers based on domain information.

Mounting Windows filesystems from AIX 5.3
First, you must install fileset bos.cifs_fs.rte, and optionally bos.cifs_fs.smit for the Smitty interface, from the installation DVD.
To invoke the Smitty interface, run:
1 |
root# smitty cifs_fs |
