Please repond to this article in the newsgroup you read it from. Our email is bouncing and the only way to get your responses is off of usenet. All inbound mail to our system is bouncing, and we are getting the following error messages in the /usr/mmdf/log/... files. chan.log -------- 3/13 17:11:37 rmail 1625: Initialization failure 'only root, mmdf and daemons may name source host' msg.log ------- 3/14 1:11:37 submit1626: xin only root, mmdf and daemons may name source host The mail message is then returned back to the sending system. What does this mean. I am currently polling our newsfeed site (uunet) with a crontab entry under uucp. Is this telling me that I must run this under root or mmdf? Sending mail out to other machines is no problem. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. -- = Dan Neff Bell Atlantic Healthcare Systems = = Phone: (415) 925-0121 Greenbrae, CA. = = = = E-mail: uunet!bellahs!neff uunet!neff@bellahs.UUCP =
