Not too long ago, I posted a question to this group regarding sendmail rule syntax and trying to pass a domain address to another box. I have since gotten more info, so I will restate the problem in the hope that someone will know a fix for this. We have two machines connected via a UUCP link. Machine A is a System V box with rmail, smail and lmail and a link to the net. If you send mail to user@a.b.c, the mailer correctly schedules the job out. Machine B is an ULTRIX (BSD) box with sendmail. If you send mail to user@a.b.c here, it will schedule a job to Machine A for further processing, but Machine A will reject the address. The UUCP line in our sendmail.cf is: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=sDFhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000, A=uux - machA!rmail ($u) WHat I have found is that the value for $u is stripped to "a.b.c". Moreover, if I use a rewrite rule to convert the address to machA!a.b.c!user, the same problem occurs. How is $u set and how may I change it so that rmail gets the full address and not just the domain? As far as I know, the .cf file is standard.
