I've got some questions that I hope y'all will wanna help out with... savant runs ESIX SVR3 (Rev D) and ELM 2.2 (Will put in 2.3 maybe today) the 'latest' rn, the 'latest' bnews 2.11 (all these fresh from uunet ftp) smail 2.5. I'm clueless how to make mail work... I don't run pathalias. I'm one hop from a very big and smart internet site (Virginia) and have a on line paths file: smart-host virginia!%s 0 here's what happens. When mail makes it INTO savant, I can reply in elm quite nicely. I just reply, and nothing complains, looking at the uucp queue for the mail host at virginia shows an rnews fqdn.user (like watt.acc.virginia.edu! jon) I assume it's 'rewriting' things... At any rate, people recieve that mail just fine. BUT, when I originate mail from elm, the following happens....

Sendmail seems to have been installed when I put in Network Support Utilities as a prerequisite for installing TCP/IP (Which I use here to connect a couple terminals to savant) I've commented out the lines pertaining to sendmail in the rc2.d file that starts the network stuff, so it's not running (a ps -ef agrees, no sendmail running) So I don't think that's it.... If I could get mail to work, I'd be sooooo pleased! Also, I can't originate new mail from rn either, r, and R don't work... I get the same exact response as above. HELP! (aarrgghh!) At least it seems like the same problem in both cases.... Thanks! -- +----------- Domain? DOMAIN?
