I think I'm just hosed. My system in an HP9000/800 with HP-UX 7.0. I use the HP-UX sendmail (i.e. no source). I have a UUCP link to a site with internet access, and have sucessfully routed unknown UUCP and all RFC 822 destinations to my gateway site. Sendmail also recognizes our site as an RFC 822 destination for incoming mail. I wanted to make one last change to have an RFC 822 "From:" address, instead of a UUCP one. (I was actually asked to provide this by our gateway site.) The following changes to Ruleset 13 (the uucp mailer) in the HP-UX sendmail.cf accomplishes this successfully: < R$+ $@$1<@$k.UUX> user => my_host!user --- > # Send internet-style "From:" address > R$+ $:$1<@$w> add local domain (Site-hidden) Mail gets routed and tagged successfuly, but there is one annoying catch - when a user sends mail through the gateway the following error message is mailed back by sendmail: Subject: Returned mail: Unable to deliver mail (This is false ----------------^ ) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 No ! in UUCP: mjf@mjm.mjm.com .... There seems no way to get around this without going back to a UUCP-style From address. Any clues?

It probably looks something like this: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=FMUDuh, ...... Try removing the 'U' flag in the F= string of mailer flags. This should eliminate the problem you are having. The U flag tells 'sendmail' to put the Unix From line into the form: From address date remote from host and without the '!' it cannot find the first host name in the path. There is a slight risk that this will result in all mail arriving on the using system saying - 'From uucp etc' (instead of from the actual sender). -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
