If you have come acrossed a problem in starting a sendmail demon using "startsrc" command and the sendmail stops immediately.
Solution:
# lssrc -s sendmail : Command to check the sendmail subsystem.
# ps -ef | grep -i sendmail
# stopsrc -s sendmail
# startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q30m" : Command to start the sendmail demon.
# lssrc -s sendmail : Command to verfiy the sendmail demon.
If the demon still shows "inoperative"
# ./etc/rc.tcpip : Script that start the sendmail demon.
Note: Ensure mail log is no full.
