Thanks a lot to all the gurus who responded to my concern. Special appreciation to Mr. Hutin, and Mr. Rich, whose guidance helped me a lot.
Thankyou again..
Mike.

Subject: email header details.
Hi Gurus,
Usually, in the header details of the emails that we receive, we get this section:
Received: from 77.77.77.77 (EHLO abc.com) (77.77.77.77) by mta100.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 02 Nov 2005 09:21:33 -0800
Received: from abc.com ([127.0.0.1]) by abc.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0IPC0003A88YNX00@abc.com> for abc@yahoo.com; Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:22:10 -0600 (CST)
Received: (from user@localhost) by abc.com (8.12.10+Sun/8.12.10/Submit) id jA2HMADx001258 for abc@yahoo.com; Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:22:10 -0600 (CST)
But the outgoing mails from this particular server:
The mails are going out fine from my server which is running solaris 10. But if I look at the header details where I receive the mail generated from the server, I am mssing one received section, where the ip address of the localhost ([127.0.0.1]) is missing. This I Believe, is causing it not to send the messages through the Messaging Server that I am running in that Server.
Below is the header details that I get from the mails that I got from this server:
Received: from 66.66.66.66 (EHLO company.com) (66.66.66.66) by mta164.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:30:30 -0800
Received: from xyz (xyz.com [172.16.114.58]) by company.com (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id jA2JT2hB018532 for <abc@yahoo.com>; Wed, 2 Nov 2005 13:29:02 -0600 (CST)
Received: (from user@localhost) by xyz.com (8.13.3+Sun/8.12.10/Submit) id jA2JTrdH001115 for yug_joshi@yahoo.com; Wed, 2 Nov 2005 13:29:53 -0600 (CST)
Please let me know which configuration file is causing this to happen; and how I can correct this.
Thankyou very much.
Regards,
Mike.

config files are in /etc/mail, but since Solaris 9 there are 2 files:
sendmail.cf and submit.cf

Second: this set of headers appears to reflect:
1) submission of message to instance of sendmail (8.12.10)
2) handoff from sendmail to Sun JES messaging server
3) handoff from Sun JES (your site) to Yahoo's MTA
I presume that this is because the instance of sendmail running on
that host has been appropriately configured to do so -- most likely
by modification of /etc/mail/submit.cf. With any luck, someone left
the original version lying around so that a diff will reveal the
requisite changes.
Caveat: most people don't edit their submit.cf directly. They edit
submit.mc and regenerate submit.cf from it. So: take a look in
/usr/lib/mail/cf, where you _should_ find the submit.mc that was
used to generate the installed/functional submit.cf that lives in /etc/mail.
Which is the case on your system(s) probably depends on who has
preceded you and their preferred mode of operation.

I believe you're correct, viz.:
> Received: from 66.66.66.66 (EHLO company.com) (66.66.66.66) by mta164.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:30:30 -0800

> Received: (from user@localhost) by xyz.com (8.13.3+Sun/8.12.10/Submit) id jA2JTrdH001115 for yug_joshi@yahoo.com; Wed, 2 Nov 2005 13:29:53 -0600 (CST)
This appears to reflect:
1) submission of message to instance of sendmail (8.12.10/8.13.3)
2) handoff from sendmail submission to sendmail outbound
3) handoff from sendmail (your site) to Yahoo's MTA
and unless I'm mistaken, the queue identifier (jA2JT2hB018532) is of the
form used by sendmail -- as opposed to the queue identifier in the previous
instance (0IPC0003A88YNX00@abc.com) which appears to be of the form used
by the JES messaging server.
It might be useful at this point to compare /etc/mail/submit.cf on
these two systems -- my guess is that there may be some version-related
differences but that the salient one will be a line with the string "msp"
is it.

I think you leave the (mailhost) entry and then put a Mailhost entry in the /etc/hosts file.
