- Hi Jamie;-)
- i'll try to help you. But, i don't have a mail connexion on 386BSD
- for now, only on a bigger box. Nor have i a release 0.1 currently,
- but i guess sendmail.cf is same as in 0.0
-
- Say, your internet relay is mailman.omahug.org (in internet address),
- its uucp node name relative to your machine be mailman.uucp, and your
- own machine name is funny.uucp (uucp nodenames are limited to 7 alpha-
- numeric chars due to some ancient U**Xes with 14-char file names).
-
- Include the following lines near the top:
- # my uucp hostname
- DUfunny
- # my uucp aliases
- CUfunny
-
- # local uucp connections
- CVmailman.uucp
-
- # local domain name
- DDuucp
-
- # internet/UUCP/csnet/bitnet relays
- DAmailman.uucp
- DRmailman.uucp
- DCmailman.uucp
- DBmailman.uucp
-
- ...and delete all the CN entries, leaving only one blank CN line,
- since you don't have a NIC-registered host (i assume).
-
- Care for mailman.omahug.org, it must resolve your addresses (in From:
- and Reply-to: lines) to one of the forms
-
- jamie%funny@mailman.omahug.org, or
- funny!jamie@mailman.omahug.org
-
- unless funny.uucp is registered in the global uucp maps anyway. This
- fact is my problem, too, so my return addresses are invalid:-(
-
- Hope you can succeed, enjoy
- J"org
-
-
- ps: Please DO NOT reply to the return path, some mailer clobbers it.
- Only reply to that address:
