- I'm trying to get MH 6.8 running here, and it fails when trying to
- talk SMTP with the local sendmail. It's not MH's fault, because
- the same commands fail when I type them in by hand. For example:
-
- % telnet rios smtp

- The sendmail config file we are using works fine on all of our other
- UNIX boxes...the only modifications for AIX are to enable the options
- that it requires before it will support MX records. And this same
- sendmail works fine for mail submitted via piping to sendmail's
- standard input...but not via SMTP.
-
- Is there a fix for this?
