How to get Doors NG to use the local mailer
I've installed Doors NG 6.01 on RedHat. When trying to configure email settings I am, so far, unable to get it to use the local mailer (either postfix or sendmail - I've tried both). The only way I can get it to work is to point it at our Exchange server and use my login credentials. But this is not a good solution. I have to change my password frequently

I've done it for both Postfix and Sendmail in the past - no problems at all. Note that these two applications listen at address localhost/127.0.0.1 only by default. You need to change it if JTS/DNG are not on the same machine. Use the below command to see what address/port the application is listening at.
netstat -pant | grep sendmail

That is what I was trying. But in the email configuration page in the administrative interface I tried localhost, 127.0.0.21 and localhost,localdomain and when I would save the configuration, it would complain about the "HELO" parameter requiring a domain name or it couldn't connect. And, when I tried to send a test email and watched the maillog, in fact, the HELO and EHLO commands would be sent without any name and sendmail would reject it.
