I'm having troubles with HP-UX 6.5's sendmail on a 9000/370. When I ask
it to handle the address:
mips.mips.com!guest
It replys that it can't use uucp to deliver to "mips . mips . com". Right.
"mips . mips . com" doesn't exist. Uupath, using the same original address,
can correctly translate it. From what I can tell this is perfectly valid
address.
I understand that an address like:
guest@mips.mips.com
Wants to go over my ethernet cable. I still don't know why they
don't have a switch for uupath in there... I beleive most HP sites, if they
have any outside networking have uucp and not internet (HP itself excluded).
Uupath still correctly translates it.
The response center doesn't see this as a bug... I've tried.
The help I'm looking for:
Surely someone knowledgable about sendmail has fixed the inserted spaces
problems... maybe even run all addresses thru uupath first. I'd like
to get a copy.
I'd also like to know from 7.0 sites, if this is still a problem? Will I need
another sendmail for 7.0 too (assuming some kind soul helps me out at 6.5).
