[comp.unix.questions] Sendmail installation

andy@ncrorl.Orlando.NCR.COM (Andy Veghte) (05/03/89)

I am trying to test sendmail on an ISC 386/ix system.  I have run 
the makefiles for sendmail, mail, mail.new, mailx, mailx.new, and 
smail and have generated the entire "Basic Networking" package (this
package includes uucp commands, /usr/lib/sendmail, and other good 
stuff).  I am able to send mail to remote locations using "mail" 
with destaddr!loginname addresses, but in order to test sendmail, 
I believe it will be necessary to mail to loginname@destaddr 
addresses.

Do I have to set up pathalias files and install a mail router
or is my vanilla UNIX already able to use sendmail correctly.

One approach I am trying is to look at Dave Taylor's ELM package
and see how it interfaces with sendmail.  If I could install and
run this or just understand how this package works I may know
enough to finish this testing.

Any ideas out there?
