Hi. Could somebody please tell me where I can get a version of
sendmail that understands MX records and where I can find instructions
on how to use it. Thanks.

RFC 973 provides updates to RFC 882 and 883 and includes the specifications on how MXs are stored in the nameserver databases. RFC 974 explains how the SMTP mail systems actually interpret the MXs. There are at least two versions: The Berkeley version, an update to what's on 4.3BSD. This version is fine if you intend to have only TCP/IP connections and not UUCP. > An MX supporting sendmail can be found on ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU by > logging in as anonymous and retrieving pub/4.3/sendmail.MX.tar > The file is 1.26MB. And the Illinois version. This version is capable of being a forwarder between ARPA and UUCP. ------- Forwarded Message Date: Sun, 16 Nov 86 14:33:00 CST From: essick@b.cs.uiuc.edu (Raymond B. Essick) Subject: Re: ARPA/uucp forwarding no problems. the file can be grabbed by anonymous FTP from the host "a.cs.uiuc.edu". you want all of the files in the directory /pub/Mail/. i've enclosed an ls and the contents of the "README" from that directory. you will want the 5.44.* files -- they contain the version of sendmail used at UIUC. This is based on sendmail 5.44 and includes modifications for the new rewrite primitives $<, and $). the installation instructions are sketchy. i haven't gotten through that part of the development phase. - --ray essick ======== Script started on Sun Nov 16 14:30:29 1986 a1% ls -l pub/Mail total 769 - -r-------- 1 essick 83599 Sep 8 22:50 5.44.other.tar.Z - -r-------- 1 essick 231827 Sep 8 22:51 5.44.src.tar.Z - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 82560 Nov 10 09:01 Config.a - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 35878 Nov 10 09:01 Config.a.Z - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 41748 Aug 15 22:33 Pathalias.tar.Z - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 1027 Nov 10 09:04 README - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 110461 Aug 15 22:27 Routing.tar.Z - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 36054 Aug 15 21:59 UIUC-Mail.tar.Z - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 92022 Nov 10 09:01 UUqueue.a - -rw-r--r-- 1 essick 39930 Nov 10 09:02 UUqueue.a.Z a2% ^D script done on Sun Nov 16 14:30:51 1986 ======== README ======== ./Config.a sendmail.cf building blocks and documentation. packaged with the berkeley/ascii "ar" program. ./Config.a.Z compressed Config.a ./Pathalias.tar.Z compressed tar image of modified pathalias source. changes are for the "transport name" syntax: site[transportname]. ./Routing.tar.Z compressed tar image of makefiles, distfiles, scripts, and site definitions used to manage map building here at UIUC.
