- HELP!
-
- One of our main machines here has completely died (a Mips M/120).
- We are now left with just SGI's :)
-
- We got our university nameserver to add an MX record alias for the machine
- so that mail addressed there will go to one of our other machines instead.
- (the dead machine is "dirac" and the working machine is "max"). However,
- when sendmail on max receives the mail for dirac (via smtp) it then tries
- to forward it on to dirac. How can we get max to accept this mail as if
- it had arrived at its destination? Something in sendmail.cf?
-
- Many thanks!
-
- Michael
-
- PS: Dirac was our news server too, so I can't read news currently; please
- e-mail replies to "greendog@max.physics.sunysb.edu".
