[comp.sys.att] Help! Sendmail won't

zrwc05@hgo7.hou.amoco.com (Bob Craven) (05/31/91)

I have a 3b2 which is connected to a ethernet network (mostly Sun's) and I
can't seem to get mail to go to a domain address.  I have been dinking around
with the sendmail.cf file with no luck.  Mostly I get the mail returned with
a message like  "Socket operation on a non-socket".  I am running Sys V Rel
3.2.2 with WIN3B rel 3.2.  Has anybody got this to work?

TA DA!  Thanks to all who tried to help.  I never received any of the email, but
I managed to get the silly thing working anyway.  Sorry to all who tried to 
reply, and got bounced. In dinking around with the sendmail.cf file I used a
different ruleset and the the mailer wouldn't receive or send mail.  

For any who are intrested I changed a couple of lines in ruleset 0.  The 
distributed sendmail.cf file wants named to resolve unknown hosts and does not
expect a host to resolve unknown names/domains.  I changed this line to send
all unknown domain type names to our mailhost.
