Hello, folks. I am trying to get sendmail to work properly on my RT 6150/125 running AIX 2.2.whatever.the.latest.is. Everyone seems to be able to reach me. I am on the internet and I get mail from all over the country. Problem is I can't reach about half of the people I try to send mail to. The funny thing is I can reach some people all over the country, but... I get several different responses from the mailer using the -v option (verbose) Often it's host unknown. But I have TCP/IP running well and doing domain name serving from my school's central computer. I never have trouble resolving host names for telnet and ftp. Also, I get a mysterious error: uux failed ( 11 ) ...unknown mailer error 11 Does anyone know what's going on? I have the most trouble reaching anyone at ...att.com if that helps. I think I have sendmail.cf set up right, if the documentation can be trusted...what's wrong? Any help would be appreciated. My sneaking suspicion is that IBM left something out of the documentation on sendmail.cf (it's happened before) but I'm not sure. Does anyone have their mailer consistently doing mail all over the country to all kinds of hosts? What about bitnet addresses and addresses that are bang-paths (!host1!host2!host3!etc.) or have %s in them? If anyone has a successful sendmail.cf they'd care to share I'd be grateful, but please mail first so I don't get innundated. Thanks is advance... db ________________________________Daniel Barron__________________________________ ______________________________________ ________________________________________ "There are four types of homicide: | E-mail: barron@eniac.seas.upenn.edu felonious, excusable, justifiable | barron@wharton.upenn.edu and praiseworthy." --Ambrose Bierce | barron@dacth01.bitnet ______________________________________|________________________________________
