- I've just compiled and installed MMDF on a 386 machine running Lynx OS
- and need help in configuring the domain and channel tables (local and SMTP).
-
- How I would like to set things up is that any mail sent within the
- local domain be sent directly and any thing else to be sent to the gateway.
- If at all possible I would like to make use of our name server.
-
- Here is the pertinent networking info:
-
- host name: zaphod (132.246.192.19)
- domain name: iar.nrc.ca
- name server: nrcnet0.nrc.ca (132.246.160.2)
- gateway: naegate.nrc.ca (132.246.192.1)
-
-
- Currently I'm fooling around with the following configuration:
-
- mmdftailor file:
- ================
-
- MLNAME "zaphod"
- MLDOMAIN "iar.nrc.ca"
- MLOCMACHINE ""
- MSUPPORT "postmaster@zaphod.iar.nrc.ca"
-
- ; Table entries
- MTBL alias, file="aliases", show="Local Aliases"
- MTBL local, file="local", show="Local Host"
- MTBL smtp, file="smtp", show="SMTP Hosts"
- MTBL rootdomain, file="rootdomain", show="Root Domain"
-
- ALIAS table=alias, trusted
-
- ; Channel entries
- MCHN local, show="Local Delivery", que=local, tbl=local,
- pgm=local, mod=imm, ap=same
- MCHN list, show="List Processing", que=list, tbl=local,
- pgm=list, mod=reg
- MCHN smtp, show="SMTP/TCP", que=smtp, tbl=smtp
- pgm=smtp, mod=reg, ap=822
-
- ; Domain tables
- MDMN "root", dmn="", show="Root Domain", table=rootdomain
-
- ; Logging levels
- MMSGLOG level=FTR
- MCHANLOG level=FTR
-
-
- rootdomain file:
- ================
-
- u614ji u614ji.iar.nrc.ca
- convax convax.iar.nrc.ca
- com naegate
- edu naegate
- ca naegate
-
-
- local table:
- ============
-
- zaphod.iar.nrc.ca zaphod
- zaphod.nrc.ca zaphod
- zaphod zaphod
-
- smtp table:
- ===========
-
- naegate.nrc.ca 132.246.192.1
- u614ji.iar.nrc.ca 132.246.192.17
- convax.iar.nrc.ca 132.246.192.11
-
-
- With the above configuration files I have been able to send mail
- locally and to u614ji (but not to u614ji.iar.nrc.ca).
-
- As far as receiving mail I am using smtpd.4.3.c with the apropriate
- line set in inetd.conf as follows:
-
- smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/mmdf/chans/smtpd smtpd /usr/mmdf/chans/smtpsrvr smtp,local
-
- Judging from the messages in the log files submit doesn't like the
- return address specification. Which all seems to me to point to a domain
- configuration and or channel table specification.
-
- Is there someone who out there who could give me a few pointers
- as to how to properly configure this beast!
-
- signed ...
- thouroughly confused!! (aka: Matthew Bastian)
