OK. I give up. I've admit to being a rookey at sendmail. I know my problem
is probably simple, but I've been RTFM'in for weeks and STILL haven't figured
it out!
I posted a question a few weeks back about sendmail configuration because I
thought if I got a look at working configurations I could figure it out.
Thanks for all the responses, but I guess no one thought an example
configuration would help. After eating up all the discussions in
comp.mail.sendmail and pouring over and through all documentation and books I
could find on the subject I think now that it may not be my sendmail.cf file.
Background of problem:
Using ISC 2.0.2 runtime system only
Local mailer is ISC mail
System is using smail 2.2
(sorry, can't compile smail - no dev sys)
Problem: My system is forwarding any remote mail that is addressed
either locally or to a host connection with a header from
uucp as sender. Even though all mail has a 'TO' line, it
still contains an 'Apparently To:' line in the new header.
I have tested addresses through sendmail '-t' flag and all
the rewriting rules look fine. The sendmail.cf that is
being used is the default.cf dated 12/20/88 from the UUCP
project (smail configuration).
I appreciate all responses. Thanks in advance.
I would also like to thank those that responded to my first sendmail
configuration question. Most responses were suggestions to go to strictly
smail. I'd love to, but I have no compiler on my ISC system. Most programs I
can compile on an SCO Unix system and move the binaries to the ISC system.
Smail only comes up with memory faults when I tried that (ISC supports the
binaries of SCO, but I think smail uses something proprietary that's
incompatible on ISC). I also received a copy of the Ease 3.0 package. For
those that aren't familiar with it, it is a high level sendmail configuration
compiler (? I think that's close). I haven't been able to get it to compile on
the SCO system. Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately the circumstances
don't quite work right now and I have to fight it out the hard way.
This goes out to all those others that are battling the sendmail configs....
UUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! :-)
Shawn.
