[comp.mail.uucp] Help with a Tek 6130 Sendmail problem

root@lucifer.UUCP (root) (11/11/86)

Hi.

Just getting my site on the net this month.  I am trying to get the sendmail.cf
file set correctly so I can do proper routing.  I am using the sysadmin utility
on the Tek 6130 box I have and have tried just about every combination of 
known domain and local domain names I can think of.  Has anyone ever gotten
this to work.  My configuration is quite simple.  I am running BSD 4.2
(a minor Tektronix variant) and am hooked up over modem to several other uucp
only sites.  My problem is that I can only seem to get mail working (somewhat)
when I set the Local Domain to 'unknown.'  Anything else, and sendmail 
chokes telling me that the entire address I specifed is the host name and there
is no specified destination.  I would leave it as 'unknown,' but all my mail
and news goes in and out with lucifer.unknown.  I'm sure this is going to foul
me up somewhere.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,

David Ornstein
