[comp.unix.ultrix] sendmail with mx records support

angel@umigw.UUCP (angel li) (01/07/88)

Has anyone replaced Ultrix's 2.0 sendmail with a sendmail that uses mx
records?  I have the name server running but after building a new
sendmail linked with -lresolv, this version delivers local mail but
refuses to accept SMTP connections from hosts on our LAN.  I desperately
need to have a smarter sendmail than Ultrix's.

I've replaced the Ultrix's sendmail with the latest, I thinks is 5.54,
semdmail from Berkeley. The thing I did differently is I rebuilt
libc.a with the new resolver routines. I also had to play with 
sendmail config file. Fun stuff! Ultrix really did a hack on sendmail.cf
