I am unable to get BITNET mail sent directly to my RT. I know very little
about customizing sendmail, so my problem may be simple. Can someone help?
I'm running AIX 2.2.1, and have an ethernet connection to a local network.
I can get mail to and from the principal computer on the network: ub.d.umn.edu .
My rt's name is rtchem.d.umn.edu . When I tried mailing to
psiders@rtchem.d.umn.edu
from a remote computer (specifically, sc.msc.umn.edu at the Minneota
Supercomputer Center) the message was returned, with the following transcript:
>>> HELO rtchem
<<< 553 rtchem Do not communicate with self
554 <psiders@rtchem.d.umn.edu>... Service unavailable: No such file or directory
The same "553 rtchem Do not communicate sith self" message is returned when
I try mailing something WITHIN rtchem (say, from root to a user), but use
the full domain name in the address.
Can someone suggest what I've likely got wrong? Is there a relevant portion
of a particular manual that I should read? Thanks for any suggestions.

The return address is garbled by AIX sendmail. My SE is trying to find out if anyone else has had the UUCP problem before I call it in to software support...
