- I'll take that as a compliment. I did pass it on to Pat Hurt because he
- had the exact symptoms that I did when I installed 4.0.1 and sendmail
- didn't work (yes, I tried rebuilding the frozen configuration file).
- I've been using a sendmail.cf from a Sun Sparcstation for the last few
- months, and it works fine; I gave up on the SGI-supplied sendmail.cf when
- I couldn't get it to work for me. Various people have told me that it's
- infinitely easier to modify a working sendmail.cf...
- I am now testing the stock 4.0.1 sendmail.cf. It isn't working. It is
- failing to deliver mail to another user on THIS machine. I've been waiting
- five minutes. Now, I'll reset sendmail with the Sun-derived sendmail.cf...
- Mail to another user on this machine happens instantly (using Mail -v to
- watch in both cases). The SGI-supplied sendmail.cf from 4.0.1 is stock,
- the only changes being those where my local domain information gets plugged
- in. If SGI's sendmail.cf doesn't have problems, I'd like to know what
- those problems aren't so I can be sure not to fix them.
