I am maintaining about 20 diskless PI clients off a single SGI server. I have a problem with sendmail.cf on the clients most recently added: the mailer expands what should be "@research.nec.com:millercb@theory.princeton.edu" into "@research.nec.com:@research.nec.com:@research.nec.com:......", ad nauseum, and of course mail -v reports "rewrite: expansion too long... cannot resolve name..." in such cases. I have been using the same sendmail.cf on all these clients, re-freezing the configuration on each client. The only difference between the older clients that work and the newer ones that don't is that the newer ones have their client-tree space on a new disk that I recently installed on the server. Everything else about this disk and its file systems appears normal and functional. Where is the problem? (1) sendmail.cf? (2) the new disk? (3) the share/client tree? (4) the nameserver? (5) ???? Any help would be appreciated: e-mail to cliff@research.nec.com. Clifford B.

I have a little problem using sendmail (the MX version from SGI). Our iris runs a nameserver, and everything works well if I send mail to the Internet. Hovewer I would like to send mail to other networks (say Bitnet), and I look for a sendmail macro (or something like that) that translate an addres from this form: user@host.bitnet to his one user%host.bitnet@my_mail_gateway and send the message to my_mail_gateway. Do anyone on the net found this kind of problem? Thanks for any hints, valter -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Valter V.
