dbr@cybvax0.UUCP (Douglas Robinson) (02/13/85)
We have been having some problems with mail delivery lately. The problems
fall into two categories (I think). The first is summarized by a sample
error mailing to our uucp user:
From uucp Tue Feb 5 20:05:29 1985
Received: by cybvax0.UUCP (4.12/1.0)
id AA00492; Tue, 5 Feb 85 20:05:22 est
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 85 20:05:22 est
From: cci-bdc (uucp Larry Deluca)
Message-Id: <8502060105.AA00492@cybvax0.UUCP>
To: uucp
Status: R
file /usr/spool/uucp/D.cybvax0B1s52 on cybvax0
can't access
Is this due to the cryptic message in the 4.2 Makefile for uucp that
the directories in the /usr/spool/uucp directory (C., D.siteX, D.site, D.,
X., TM.) should be in a specific order (I expect that this is INODE order?)??
Can anyone verify before I go to the trouble of shutting down our uucp
to reorder the inodes? Is there another reason for it? Site cci-bdc is
supposed to be a 4.2BSD site (we are 4.2BSD)?
The second problem is incorrect sendmail handling of messages whose
'To:' line has arpa domain specifications on it, for example:
To: sitex!sitey!mit-eddie!cybvax0!cci-bdc!larry%blue@MIT-RED.ARPA
Our sendmail (almost completely stock) will NOT send this to cci-bdc...
it just seems to barf on it. Before I dive into the deep waters of
sendmail, is there anyone out there that can offer some advice? A quick
fix? I specifically don't want to break any standards which I may not
know about!
Please respond by mail (I hope that much makes it through).
