Now that our maps were updated, things are starting to move through
here. I do have one question, though.
My machine's name is laverne, but our UUCP name is widener. How can I
have uucp mail moving through here get 'From: widener!...' on it,
instead of 'From: laverne.cs.widener.edu!...' ? I looked at my
sendmail.cf and saw that $g had something to do with it, but haven't
messed with it, on the chance that it'd fudge mail not going near
UUCP.
Thanks for any help..
Brendan

I had to setup uucp on a machine named alfred. Since alfred was already taken in the uucp maps, I picked cunews as the uucp name for the machine. Everything was fine until someone tried to route some large messages to a local site via alfred instead of cunews and they got fired down to the real alfred uucp site in florida via uunet. My advice would be to avoid having non-matching host and uucp names if at all possible. It's just too confusing, not to mention all the sendmail hacking it took to get it to work properly. -- "For those of you with aluminum or fibreglass canoes and paddles, you might try carrying your canoe around on the roof of your car anytime after New Years Day.
