Having found the manual lacking, I am ready to appeal to the NET for help. How do I configure MMDF to send mail with unresolved addresses to another machine? I see the mention of badhosts and the root domain, but there is no example files or a good explanation of what to do. Can anyone help? jim -- Jim Pickering c/o Technical Solutions || (north) ..csustan!polyslo!rducky!jrp P.O.

A three-part explanation of the setup in words of one syllable was posted to sco-list@uunet.uu.net some time ago by a helpful person at SCO. It shows how to configure SCO UNIX 3.2.1 for a uucp connected site/network and a TCP/IP connected site/system plus changes in the way the daemons are started for SCO UNIX 3.2.2. I can mail copies if they are needed. It works - my ODT 1.0 box is exchanging mail with the IU CS VAX 8800 using SMTP. Further information is available in the unx167 update (apparently - I haven't looked) and in the SCO UNIX 3.2.2 system administrator's manual. The diffs for MMDF II level 43 have also been posted; the sources for that version contain numerous examples and copious documentation (it's available via ftp from UUNET or uucp from their 900 number; other anonymous uucp sites, including mine, have it. -- Mike Squires (mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) 812 855 3974 (w) 812 333 6564 (h) mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 546 N Park Ridge Rd., Bloomington, IN 47408 Under construction: mikes@sir-alan@cica.indiana.edu

MCHN name=badhosts, que=badhosts, host="some-host.dom.ain" pgm=smtp, tbl=smtp, ap=822, mod=reg For example. You pick out the host you're going to bombard with all this mail you don't know what to do with. The "pgm=" and "tbl=" tags will have to match up with how you normally reach that host. In the example it will use the SMTP channel program and the channel table for the normal smtp channel (assuming that table is named "smtp", I dunno how SCO names it..). -- <- David Herron, an MMDF & WIN/MHS guy, <david@twg.com> <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <david@ms.uky.edu> <- <- MS-DOS ...

You should set this entry to your upstream site so mail that can not be routed on your machine can be passed to your up stream or equivilent site for delivery. Don't forget to run dbmbuild to set your files up. Also, I assume that you are on a UUCP connection to the site, mail for hosts that can not be reached directly from your site should pass via uucp to your upstream site. You will also need to edit the file /usr/mmdf/table/root.dom. Take a look at this file anyway.
