- Our setup is as follows:
- -Emacs 18.55 and 18.58 (problem occurs with either).
- -Running Emacs on either Sun SPARC SunOS4.1.1 or HP9000/720 HP-UX 8.05.
- (mail gets through on the HP720, but not the SPARC)
- -There is a central mail server running on a Sun3 SunOS4.1.1 that is not
- being used to run Emacs.
-
- When I send mail (C-x m: mail) to a particular user, I get a message back that
- looks like this:
-
- Subject: returned mail for "| /usr/local/bin/filter"
-
- Mail error was: 554 <"| /usr/local/bin/filter">... Cannot mail directly to programs
-
- --- returned mail follows ---
-
- He has a .forward file that runs the filter program from the elm distribution.
-
- That was the entire message. Now, I changed 'sendmail-program to point at a
- script of mine that saves the argument list, then execs the real
- /usr/lib/sendmail, so it looks like it is being run like this:
- /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -f scott -oem -odb
-
- As far as I know the sendmail.cf on that SPARC is Sun's "subsidiary machine"
- .cf file.
-
- Any clues as to what might need changing in the SPARC's sendmail.cf file? or
- other ways to work around this?
-
- Thanx,
