- Dear Mailers,
-
- we want to mail from a SPARC system to our IBM VM computer running TCP/IP.
- Using:
-
- mail -v vm0111@ibmvm
-
- yields to the message:
-
- >>> MAIL FROM: <blaes@sparc_s>
- Syntax Error . Unexpected Token '_'
- Remote protocol error
-
-
- and the mail is undeliverable.
- The reason is known:
- The IBM SMTP implementation does'nt understand the 'underscore' in the expression
- sparc_s i.e. choosing 'sparc' instead of 'sparc_s' for the SUN's hostname works!
-
- Since our SUN system has 2 Ethernet controllers, one (sparc_s) builds an internal
- SUN clients Lan and the second one (sparc) is directed to the IBM mainframe we don't
- want to exchange 'sparc_s' with 'sparc'.
-
- What we need, I think is a modification of the sendmail.cf file in a way that a mail
- directed to the IBM should have the sender <blaes@sparc> and in all other cases the
- expression <blaes@sparc_s>.
-
- Any help available?
- Many thanks in advance!!!!
