OK, I give up. Every time I try to send mail A/UX tells me: get_myaddress:socket: Network is down The LOGFILE says "WRONG TIME TO CALL" but that's silly, because L.sys says Any. Cu works fine, so I know the port is OK and that the Mac II can talk to it. What haven't I done?????

/* Written 10:09 am Jun 6, 1989 by jlh@stech.UUCP in tippy:aux */ /* ---------- "Strange uucp message" ---------- */ OK, I give up. Every time I try to send mail A/UX tells me: get_myaddress:socket: Network is down The LOGFILE says "WRONG TIME TO CALL" but that's silly, because L.sys says Any. Cu works fine, so I know the port is OK and that the Mac II can talk to it. Jan Harrington Scholastech Telecommunications husc6!stech!jlh or allegra!stech!jlh /* End of text from tippy:aux */ Same thing happenned to me. I edited the sendmail configuration file /usr/lib/sendmail.cf to fix it. Look for the lines # other uucp hosts (these sites avoid router) CQ Then alter the CQ line to include the names of your uucp connections that you entered in the L.sys file. For example, I have connections to pur-phy, ault, sawmill and mdbs. Therefore the following CQ line. CQpur-phy ault sawmill mdbs This may not be the elegant solution but without adequate documentation it works for me. When looking for sendmail docs, Apple's docs state to refer to A Sendmail Configuration Guide which, of course, is not included in the A/UX docs that I spent big bucks for. (Come on Apple I'm used to much better treatment than that from you!) Luckily a very nice fellow from Purdue Computing Center was able to give me a lot of sendmail help.
