What mods do I need to make to sendmail.cf so that sendmail will
forward Internet style addresses over UUCP?
We have a local Ethernet, and I'd like for unrecgnized host references
to be forwarded to our (uucp connected) Internet connection.
e.g. If someone mails to bozo@uunet.com then I'd like it to be changed
to emory!uunet.com!bozo.
Thanks for any info,
Mat

Well, I ended up solving my own problem. I modified the SMTP relay part of sendmail.cf to use the uucp protocol instead of tcp and, wow!, it works Here is the first part where you set the relay name # SMTP relay for unresolved @ addresses # Actually UUCP relay for unresolved @ addresses - wmw 4/1/1991 DSname-o-relay Just find the "DS" in your sendmail.cf and replace where I have put name-o-relay with the name of the uucp site you'd like to forward Internet style addresses to. Find this part farther down in the file: # pass unresolved SMTP addresses to the SMTP relay (don't relay source routes) #R$+<@$+> $#tcp$@$S$:$1<@$2> user@host to SMTP relay # # MODIFICATION - forward Internet style addresses via UUCP # wmw - 4/1/1991 # R$+<@$+> $#uucp$@$S$:$1<@$2> user@host to UUCP relay Copy the line with "tcp" in it and change tcp to uucp. Comment out the tcp version and uncomment the uucp version. That's all there is to it! Mat -- W Mat Waites mat@cdbhp1.UUCP | Unlike most of you, I am not a nut. {gatech,emory}!cdbhp1!mat | -H. Simpson
