SAS issue (Or sendmail) ?

I was working on a change request of installation of SDDPCM drivers (if you want to see how I did it please click SDDPCM label it’s in the right side).

The server which I have rebooted after installation of SDDPCM driver hosting the SAS application.

Server rebooted cleanly there were no error in errpt and everything was looking ok.

I ask application team to go for live proving after 5 min I got call saying they are getting below error and they don’t know the issue.

ERROR: Unable to connect to SMTP server.

   ERROR: connect call failed, system error is '10061 - WSAECONNREFUSED'

I tried digging and found that this problem occurs when the

Email SMTP host is inaccessible.

It means it was related to SMTP lol my sendmail was inoperative ;)

I stated this and done they were happy and me toooooooo !

just do following,

# lssrc -s sendmail
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 sendmail         mail             925744       inoperative

 # startsrc -s sendmail

0513-059 The sendmail Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 925744.

#lsrsrc -s sendmail

 Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 sendmail         mail             925744       active

thats it .
