[comp.unix.ultrix] sendmail and incoming MX on Ultrix

hacker@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Thomas J. Hacker) (06/20/91)

Hello! I'm trying to set up an incomming MX for a host connected to 
us via UUCP.  Our nameservers point to our Ultrix machine, and in 
ruleset 8 in sendmail.cf, I've created the rule that flips them
over to uucp.  a sendmail -bt -d21.99 shows that it correctly
redirects it.  However, when the mail is received for the MX host
from outside the Ultrix machine (vela), vela tries to call back into
itself, seemingly attempting to parse the address and pick the mailer
before going thru the rulesets.  Does anyone have any ideas or fixes?

-Please respond via email

-Thanks!
-Tom
