Yesterday I sent mail about a problem with sendmail. I was unable to mail to other nodes on my local network. Today I discovered I had a Dw nodename, when I removed the space - Dwnodename, everything worked.

I recently upgraded to SUN O.S. 4.1 and did not realize at the time that it was possible to retain use of the nameserver nor did I have enough disk space to load the custom libraries so I could build in that capability. A while ago I wrote an application under SUN O.S. 4.0, that runs fine under SUN O.S. 4.1, that talks SMTP directly with our subnet gateway to send mail to any host on the internet. I was looking to replace the part of my sendmail that attempts to figure out where to send mail with a rehack of my program so as to off-load the actual sending of mail to our subnet gateway machine. I realize this is why there is such thing as subsidary sendmail, but I want to try it my way. Anyone have any idea of how my program could get responsible for the actual attempt to deliver mail. I guess that would mean that my program would also have to be able to give some feedback as to if our subnet gateway could do the mail in the first place. Any help would be much appreciated. Even clues. Jeff S. Dickson jdickson@zook.jpl.nasa.gov
