- Hi,
- I have a major problem with sendmail. We are going to be on
- the internet shortly. So I setup dns and everything is working fine.
- I upgraded my main mail server from SunOS 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. After that
- we started having problems with sendmail (in fact dns and os upgrading
- were done at the same time). Currently we are running smail 2.5 on our
- mail server. Our sendmail.cf looks like this:
-
- --------------------------Start file-------------------------
- #
- # SENDMAIL CONFIGURATION FILE
- #
- # supports internet style addressing
- # over UUCP and ethernet links.
- #
- # A product of the UUCP Project.
- #
- # @(#)template.cf 2.5 (smail) 9/15/87

- Now our domain looks like hell.cs.Podunk.Edu. When I send mail locally
- with user@myhosthardcodedhere.UUCP it does not recognize the machine.
- We were having problems with all the hosts in the same domain and other
- domains as well.
- When I do a sendmail -v -x9 user@mailhost this is what it looks like
-
- Trying 000.000.000.0... connected.

- Now, what I want is all the hosts to forward mail to my mailhost and
- all mail going out through my mailhost should have user@mailhost.UUCP
- in the From field. How do I write my sendmail.cf file? If I change
- anything in sendmail.cf, my From field gets screwed up. I tried a number
- of combinations and permutations. I also setup my dns so that it would
- properly identify mailhost.UUCP and respond with the proper IP address
- (when using nslookup). Now, what am I doing wrong ? I know that the
- smail version is really old. We have smail 3.1.25 compiled and I'm still
- in the process of testing. Do I have to run sendmail.mx? What do I do
- now? How do I fix this?
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll name my next host with
- your name (immortalizing you ;-).
-
- Thanks in advance.
