I am trying to get smail2.5 configured on a 3B2 w/ Sys V 2.0.4 without sendmail. Everything has compiled and installed OK, but the problem I am having is with domain addresses that are being punted to my smart-host for delivery. Here's the setup: My machine's name is amber, with a uucp link to my smarthost. My smarthost is "bgsuvax" (aka andy.bgsu.edu) with uucp and SMTP links to the outside world. Bgsuvax is running Sendmail 5.61. For incoming mail, I have a MX record for 'amber.bgsu.edu' pointing to 'andy.bgsu.edu'. The problem is occurring when I send mail from my system (amber) to any machine not explicitly listed in my paths file. Say, for instance, I mail to 'echo@omnigate.clarkson.edu'. The command file sent to bgsuvax would contain: U (whatever) . . . C rmail omnigate.clarkson.edu!echo My smarthost sees the bang path on the rmail command, and tries to ship the mail out via UUCP to never-never land. My question is: can Smail be configured to write the above command as 'C rmail echo@omnigate.clarkson.edu'. This is the first mail software I have set up, so I am kind of a novice. Am I missing something really obvious? Here's part of what I have in defs.h: #define HOSTNAME "amber" /* literal name */ #define HOSTDOMAIN "amber.bgsu.edu" /* overrides default HOSTNAME.MYDOM */ #define MYDOM ".bgsu.edu" /* literal domain suffix */ #define SMARTHOST "bgsuvax" /* pathalias alias for relay host */ And a 'grep bgsuvax /usr/lib/uucp/paths': .bgsu.edu bgsuvax!%s 500 bgsuvax bgsuvax!%s 500 smart-host bgsuvax!%s 500 Any suggestions and help will be very much appreciated!
