Earlier I posted a question about the problems we were having with mail not working ever since the 7.0 upgrade. The response center has finally been able to reproduce my problems, and they have given me a workaround. It seems that there is some strange interaction between sendmail and yellow pages. Below demonstrates a way to work around this. YPNAME=`/bin/domainname` /bin/domainname "" /usr/lib/sendmail -bz /bin/domainname "$YPNAME" I've hacked our /etc/netbsdsrc to include something like the above. Hard to believe, but this seems to fix it all. The response center had previously suggested I change "On" to "Onfalse" in the sendmail.cf file. That is incorrect and they had me change it back. Score one for the response center. It took a few months, but I would have *never* found this. -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
