- I have two problems, here. Actually three. First one is,
- I'm not even sure I'm being read outside. Pnews tells me
- "this program posts to everyone on the machine" even when
- I use world distrib.
-
- First real problem:
- ------------------
-
- Just got upgraded to 4.0.1 on an Iris 4D/20. Incoming mail is
- not delivered, and not even bounced! THis happens for mail
- coming from anywhere outside the machine. Local mail (internal
- to the machine) works fine. The file sendmail.cf is set up
- with sendmail.cf.auto. I can send mail out, it works fine,
- but the mail coming in never shows up anywhere! I looked into
- the SYSLOG fileof the Iris, and here is what I found, every time I try to
- send mail to the Iris:
-
- ir260a sendmail[5165]: AA05165: from=<thsspxh@iitmax.iit.edu>, size=291, class=0, received from iitmax.^AD (192.41.245.10)
- ir260a sendmail[5166]: Attempting to deliver to non-existent host ir260a.iit.edu for ir260a.iit.edu
- ir260a sendmail[5166]: AA05165: to=<patrick@ir260a.iit.edu>, delay=00:00:01, stat=Host unknown
- ir260a sendmail[5166]: AA05166: from=MAILER-DAEMON, size=0, class=0, received from iitmax.^AD (192.41.245.10)
- ir260a sendmail[5166]: Attempting to deliver to non-existent host iitmax for iitmax
- ir260a sendmail[5166]: AA05166: to=<thsspxh@iitmax.iit.edu>, delay=00:00:01, stat=Host unknown
-
-
- ir260a is the Iris, iitmax is another machine from which I try to send the
- mail. Pretty weird message, "non-existent host ir260a.iit.edu" since it's
- the Iris itself... And it's strange that the MAILER-DAEMON doesn't even
- bounce the mail. So what's the deal, there?
-
- Second problem:
- --------------
-
- Also found in the SYSLOG file:
-
- ir260a timed[83]: loop breakage: no reply from ir271a=192.41.245.112 to QUIT
-
- And a bunch of those! Timed is running with the usual default options:
- -G timelords -P /usr/tmp/.timetrim
-
- Problem is, ir271a is another machine, but it is never connected to
- the Ethernet (security). How do I get ir271a out of the group of
- machines looked at for the time averaging, so that my SYSLOG file is
- no longer flooded with those messages?
-
- Any help, hints, comments by mail or posting would be appreciated,
- even a short mail saying that you DID read this!
-
- Thanks,
