[comp.sys.apollo] Problems with sendmail on a dn10000 node

olip0931@mailszrz.zrz.tu-berlin.de (Christian Paschereit) (04/12/91)

We have problems with sendmail on our Apollo dn10000. We can
not receive any mail coming from outside. Local mail though 
works. Our dn10000 is running under sr10.3 and we are using
the sendmail files coming with this release. We have no problems
on sending mail. If we try to send mail to our dn10000 the mail
bounces back with an 'unknown mailer error 5' (see below).

Is there anyone who has experienced this problem and can help us 
(I remember to have read about this problem earlier but I never
saw an answer) ? I called also HP but they don't know what to do
about. Could someone provide me with the source of the latest 
version of the Berkely sendmail files ?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

How are your mailers defined in /usr/lib/sendmail.cf?  Perhaps you are not passing
parameters to your local mailer properly, but then you'd figure that local mail 
wouldn't work.  Still ... let's see how you've got the mailers configured.
