The elm Utility
elm’s screen-oriented interface runs with Sendmail or with any other UNIX Mail
Transport Agent and enables you to read and compose mail messages. It supports an
industry-wide MIME standard for nontext mail messages, a special forms message and
forms reply mechanism, and an easy-to-use alias system for individuals and groups.
Type man 1 elm at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
The mail and mailx Utilities
mailx, an interactive message processing system, provides an easy and flexible
environment for exchanging mail messages electronically. Type man 1 mailx at the
HP-UX prompt for more information.
The Sendmail Utility
The Sendmail service works with your network mailers (for example, elm and mailx)
to perform internetwork mail routing among UNIX and non-UNIX hosts on the network.
It allows you to exchange mail messages with other hosts on the local area network
via gateways. Type man 1M sendmail at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
See “Installing and Configuring Internet Services” (page 25) for information on installing

mail. See the HP-UX IP Address and Client Management Administrator’s Guide at the URL

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an extension of bootp that defines
a protocol for passing configuration information to hosts on a network. It automatically
allocates reusable network addresses and reduces the cost of managing IPv4 and IPv6
nodes in environments where administrators require more control over the allocation
