OK I fold. I have an hp9000/350 running HPUX that my users have decided needs to talk to the rest of the world. Sendmail has been working fine for local (to the machine) stuff. So I hop into /usr/lib/sendmail.cf to set up the domain name, refreeze the configuration file, fire off a test message, and voila' she don't work. Here's a short example dali # mailx mathisen@caesar Subject: a wimpy little test EOT Null message body; hope that's ok dali # sendmail: mathisen@caesar... Network node caesar not recognized at this s ite tail /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog Jun 25 03:00:33 AA08738: to=mathisen, delay=00:00:04, stat=unknown mailer error 1 Jun 25 03:00:34 AA08744: from=MAILER-DAEMON, size=0, class=0 Jun 25 03:00:36 AA08744: to=root, delay=00:00:03, stat=Sent Jun 25 03:01:10 AA08752: from=root, size=48, class=0 Jun 25 03:01:11 AA08758: from=MAILER-DAEMON, size=0, class=0 Jun 25 03:01:13 AA08758: to=root, delay=00:00:02, stat=Sent dali # Nothing I seem to do fixes the problem. I've included the relevant portions of my sendmail.cf... Not the rulesets, as I didn't touch them. Heck this is almost an exact duplicate of /etc/newconfig/sendmail.cf. Also in one of my permutations, I ended up with sendmail tacking on a .ARPA to my host name which was already fully-qualified, yet the was no 'arpa' any where in the file. I wish HP's sendmail would've dropped into place like Ultrix's, but then, I wish DEC would take HP's diskless node ideas and use 'em ... Oh well, just wanting everything I guess.

If I remember right, you are supposed to uncomment some lines in the sendmail.cf depending on whether you want to attempt to connect to any host in your /etc/hosts, or forward to a relay. Your problem sounds like neither of these cases is active, and there is a fall-through to the error condition. The ARPA domain is the default net unless set by the N option. > I wish HP's sendmail would've dropped into place like >Ultrix's,... How *can* you expect that from a vendor that seems to be perpetually stuck with System 5.2? One which doesn't have routed, domain server support, uucp that can talk TCP, whois or fingerd, and refuses to upgrade its over-3-year-old ksh? -- Govind N.

If not, this could be your problem. This particular release of the sendmail.cf unfortunately doesn't have full support of domains in it.
