I've run into a problem mailing to host "777sup1" in our domain. Both sender and recipient are AIX RS/6000's running 3003 and using DNS. I've included a debug session below: > /usr/lib/sendmail -v </dev/null guest@777sup1 ced... setsender: uid/gid = 200/1 guest@777sup1... Connecting to 777sup1.ca.boeing.com.tcp... guest@777sup1... Connecting to 777sup1.ca.boeing.com (tcp)... 777 up1.ca.boeing.com Sendmail AIX 3.1/UCB 5.61/4.03 ready at Wed, 27 Mar 91 10:41:02 -0800 >>> QUIT 221 777sup1.ca.boeing.com closing connection guest@777sup1... Deferred: Bad file number I note that sendmail on "777sup1" has apparently munched the "s" in its hostname as evidenced by the line: "777 up1.ca.boeing.com Sendmail AIX...." Other names with 3 initial digits suffer the same fate. Any advice greatly appreciated. Charles DeRykus Internet: ced@bcstec.boeing.com Boeing Computer Services UUCP: ...!uunet!bcstec!ced Renton, WA.
