I recently installed SCO Unix System Vr3.2v2.0, which comes with MMDF as the default MTA. I managed to get things working fairly well, but there are two things that still aren't working right: 1. MMDF seems to be putting "host.uucp" instead of "host" in the From_ line. This is wrong; since From_ is a line that will be interpreted by UUCP-only mailers (i.e., ones that don't understand domains), this will break reply paths. How do I fix this? 2. Most of the systems I connect to via UUCP have a domain name in addition to a UUCP name. (For example, "acorus" is also "acorus.mi.org".) So, I put the domain name in /usr/mmdf/table/uucp.chn like this: acorus.mi.org acorus!%s The problem is that mail sent to "acorus.mi.org!user" gets queued for acorus correctly, but mail sent to "user@acorus.mi.org" gets queued for the host defined in the badhosts channel; evidently, MMDF isn't recognizing "acorus.mi.org" as a valid address when it's used in a @-format address. How can I make MMDF do this? -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!hela!mudos!mju |

The necessary table entries in order to recognize a domain as valid is -- in a domain table name: canonical.domain.name -- in a channel table canonical.domain.name: information-specific-to-that-channel In your case .. I assume you have an "mi.org" domain table. That should contain the entry acorus: acorus.mi.org You might also put, in your UUCP domain table, the same line. This will let "acorus.uucp" be recognized & mapped to "acorus.mi.org". Then in your UUCP channel table you put acorus.mi.org: acorus!%s acorus.uucp: acorus!%s The last is redundant and possibly unecessary.
