- I am having some problem in configuring sendmail.cf.
- We have two solbournes. One of them is the YP server and the
- other is the client,
-
- 192.9.3.1 gadget evb.com # server
- 192.9.3.2 widget mailhost #client and mailhost
-
- The mailhost sendmail.cf reads,
-
- Dj$m
- DR uunet # we are on UUNET
- CR uunet
- Dmevb.com
- Cm widget.evb.com evb.com gadget.evb.com
-
- The server sendmail.cf reads,
-
- Dj$w.$m
- # major relay host
- DRmailhost
- CRmailhost
- Dmevb.com
- Cm widget.evb.com evb.com gadget.evb.com
-
- I want the return address to be evb.com and not hostname.evb.com.
- So I changed Dj$w.$m to Dj$m on the server and things get screwed
- up. I saved the output in a file,
-
-
- gadget:root % mail -v mahesh@amnese.eng.uab.edu
- To: mahesh@amnese.eng.uab.edu
