[comp.mail.uucp] Problems with sendmail/uux

ricky@gad.fibronics.UUCP (Ricardo Marek) (06/19/91)

I have some problems with sending mail from my site (named 'ariadna')
to the world, with 'sendmail'. I got my mail deferred.
After scraping in different files, permissions, used some
debugging facilities I found that 'uux' fails.

If I send mail from another host in the local network (under TCP/IP)
to the world, via 'ariadna', it succeeds.

'ariadna' is the only host that supports UUCP.


SCENARIO:
1) When I run 'uux' from a regular user I get:

	% uux - -r -x9 imp\!devil devil

	** START **
	arg - imp!devil:arg - devil:arg -  imp!devil devil
	xsys imp
	aliasFind (imp) FAIL
	uux failed ( 75 )
	exit code 75

2) Even with 'su' from this acct:

	% su
	Password:
	# uux - -r -x8 9 imp\!devil devil

	** START **
	arg - imp!devil:arg - devil:arg -  imp!devil devil
	xsys imp
	aliasFind (imp) FAIL
	uux failed ( 75 )
	exit code 75

3) but when I login as root I get:

	login:root
	Password:
	# uux - -r -x9 imp  \!devil devil

	** START **
	arg - imp!devil:arg - devil:arg -  imp!devil devil
	xsys imp
	aliasFind (imp) FAIL
	User root
	gename(C, imp, N)
	imp seq now 5a9f
	file - C.impN5a9f
	cfile = C.impN5a9f
	gename(D, imp, X)
	file - D.imp5a9fa64
	rxfile = D.imp5a9fa64
	gename(D, ariadna, B)
	ariadna seq now 5d6d
	file - D.ariad5d6d8d1
	   ....
  And all works....


Is there anybody out there who can help me solve this problem ????
Or refer me to any documentation related to this type of problem.
