We have a RICScomputer M120 running System V Unix. I want to know
how I can set up unix "mail" command (or which ever command that
I need to set up) to send mail outside of local host.
Here's the situation:
I can send mail to anyone on the local hosts (the computer that I am on),
but I can't send mail to another machine, even the unix machine is only
next door (and I know for sure their system is setup okay).
Here's the message I get when I tried to send mail by typing:
mail user@machine.department.school.edu
and I get error message:
Can't Send to user@machine.department.school.edu
Return to jtang
And the system would send me a mail saying:

***** UNDELIVERABLE MAIL sent to wngai@bonnie.ics.uci.edu, being returned by m120.ps.uci.edu!jtang *****
mail: Error # 8 'Invalid recipient' encountered on system m120.ps.uci.edu
To: wngai@bonnie.ics.uci.edu
Subject: hello
Hi wngai.
=====================================================================
Anyway, that's the mail message I get.
Here's some additional information that might be helpful. I can
use "rlogin", "telnet", "finger", "rsh", "talk",
I CAN NOT use the following:
"tip", "rmail"
I CAN NOT use the following program to contact other machine:
"mail", "sendmail"
So.. can someone tell me what's wrong with my setup? And how I would
go about fixing it???
