[comp.mail.sendmail] Sendmail on MIPS boxes?

pj@linz.ensmp.fr (Pierre JOUVELOT <jouvelot@ensmp.fr>) (06/13/91)

I have trouble running sendmail via the TCP mailer on MIPS machines. The
rewriting seems to be going fine (when using sendmail interactively with
the -bt option), but when I use Mail with the -v option, no TCP
connection seems to be initiated ! Local mail is delivered, though.

Is this a know problem? Any suggestion about how fixing it? E-mail
responses preferred.

Thanks,

Pierre

It's not a bug, its a feature.

Create a empty file "/usr/lib/sendmail.ok", and your mail delivery will work.
