I have found what I believe is a problem with the sendmail.cf file distributed with A/UX. I can send RFC 822 mail properly, but I can only receive RFC 822 mail if the other end addresses the recipient as <user>, NOT as <user@host.domain>. If this second form is used, the sender gets an "undeliverable message" message back from MAILER-DAEMON. Here is a transcript: >From MAILER-DAEMON@bubba Thu Dec 22 12:07:58 1988 >Received: from digate (digate.cc.utexas.edu) by bubba with TCP; Thu, 22 Dec... >Date: Thu, 22 Dec 88... >From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON@bubba> >Subject: Returned mail: Service unavailable >To: <dlnash@digate.cc.utexas.edu> >Status: R ----- Transcript of session follows ----- >>> HELO bubba <<< 553 bubba I refuse to talk to myself 554 <dlnash@bubba.ots.utexas.edu>... Service unavailable: No such file or directory. ----- Unsent message follow ----- [message deleted] Note that I quoted the header lines myself with ">". I also had to wrap the 554 line, it was originally one line which was more than 80 characters long. As I said earlier, this problem does not happen when the remote SMTP uses RCPT TO: <dlnash> It only happens when RCPT TO: <dlnash@bubba.ots.utexas.edu> is used. This makes me believe that this is a problem with the sendmail configuration file. Has anyone else seen this problem? Does someone have a fix? Thanks in advance for any help.
