We are having problems with local delivery of mail. We are running HPUX 7.0 on our 9000/350's. We are running YP. For some reason, "/bin/rmail -d <foo>" results in "can't send to <foo>", even when <foo> is a valid user name. The exit status is 0, so sendmail thinks all is well, but it appears that the mail just disappears. Any suggestions? rob collins rjc@cs.ucla.edu -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rjc@cs.ucla.edu CM++ on the CM2: The only way to fly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HP's sendmail has some serious bugs when YP is running. If praliases doesn't give the results you expect (for me, it simply showed no known aliases) then this is the problem. Below is an excerpt from our /etc/netbsdsrc file showing the kludge to work around this bug. There are a bunch of places in this file where the fix is needed, and you must fix this for every machine on your network. YPNAME=`/bin/domainname` /bin/domainname "" /usr/lib/sendmail -bz /bin/domainname "$YPNAME" /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m && /bin/echo "sendmail \c" -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.

Get the latest sendmail patch from your SE and you'll no longer need this kludge. Jerry McCollom jmc@cnd.hp.com
