[comp.mail.uucp] smail on Tandy 6000, problems

campbell@Thalatta.COM (Bill Campbell) (05/30/90)

I have compiled smail on the Tandy 6000 using the 3.2 development
system in hopes that I can use a limited paths file and refer
domain address to my 386 machine for full path munging.  The
problems are:

	1.	With a limited /usr/lib/paths file, smail -A name@domain
		doesn't result in a call to the smart-host in the paths
		file.
	2.	Any calls other then ``smail -A path'' result in core
		dumps.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks.

According to campbell@Thalatta.COM (Bill Campbell):

The Tandy is apparently running Xenix.  Therefore, the core dumping
problem is probably the Xenix C compiler bug.  Somewhere in deliver.c
is a line like "*lend = *rend = *send = '\0';".  Change that line to
something like "*lend = '\0'; *rend = '\0'; *send = '\0';".

As for smart-host, well, that's probably a Smail configuration issue.
Check the Smail documentation.
