Hello everyone out there in netland.... I have a couple of questions/problems with Sendmail 5.65b with IDA 1.4.3 enhancements: 1) I got it from UIUC, but for the life of me I cannot get it to work with phquery...I have qi/ph installed and it seems to work fine. Does anyone know the magic incantations to make sendmail call phquery to check for an email address ? 2) How does one set up the PATHALIAS table to use the Internet names of sites to make UUCP mail delivery more efficient? For example, the path from here to username at the uucp site unisql is: fernwood!ames!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!username but since cs.utexas.edu is on the Internet, the message could be delivered much more efficiently to: uudell!sequoia!unisql!username@cs.utexas.edu Or mail to username@xanth.UUCP, gets rewritten (based upon the pathalias table) to: fernwood!ames!xanth!username Where it could better be sent to: username@xanth.cs.odu.edu Any help would be greatly appreciated, pointers to the correct FM or whatever.

Does | anyone know the magic incantations to make sendmail call phquery to | check for an email address ? Assuming you are a) using ida/cf/Sendmail.mc file as your base, and b) want to send foo@sri.com addresses through phquery, edit the following files as follows: 1) ida/cf/yourhost.m4 Add the line define(ALTERNATENAMES, sri.com) 2) /usr/local/lib/mail/mailertable (or wherever mailertable lives) Add the line PH!cujo.csl.sri.com sri.com This assumes that cujo has phquery installed. |2) How does one set up the PATHALIAS table to use the Internet names | of sites to make UUCP mail delivery more efficient? For example, | the path from here to username at the uucp site unisql is: | | fernwood!ames!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!username The trick here is to have merge a local addition to the UUCP map data that lists a series of pseudo-connections. Example: cujo rutgers(DIRECT), mcsun(DIRECT), inria(DIRECT), xanth(DIRECT), cs.utexas.edu(DIRECT) combined with the published map data would generate the pathalias entry of cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!%s For each UUCP name in the list above, a mailertable entry is needed to locate the corresponding Internet domain name: TCP-U:rutgers.edu rutgers.uucp TCP-U:mcsun.eu.net mcsun.uucp TCP-U:inria.inria.fr inria.uucp TCP-U:xanth.cs.odu.edu xanth.uucp Mail sent to rutgers!foo!user will be sent to rutgers.edu via TCP while preserving a UUCP address in the header. Mail sent to user@rutgers.edu won't be affected and will have the usual domain address in the header. | Or mail to username@xanth.UUCP, gets rewritten (based upon the | pathalias table) to: | | fernwood!ames!xanth!username | | Where it could better be sent to: | | username@xanth.cs.odu.edu This could also be handled with domaintable. /pbp -- Paul Pomes, Computing Services Office University of Illinois - Urbana Email to Paul-Pomes@uiuc.edu
