[comp.mail.sendmail] rs6000 to rt mail problem

ced@bcstec.uucp (Charles Derykus) (05/08/91)

I've encountered a problem mailing from host "carios2.ca.boeing.com" 
to host "server4".

"carios" is an RS6000 on DNS while "server4" is an RT not on DNS.
The RS6000 is at rev 3005; not sure about the RT.

We have succeeded in mailing to RS6000's not on DNS; unfortunately,
superimposing the same sendmail.cf and /etc/hosts tweaks onto the RT's
didn't work.

The session is listed below:
