[comp.mail.sendmail] help on configuration

hnt@altger.uucp (Michael Hentrich) (11/14/89)

Hi all out there,

I have a question in configuring....

How do I have my sendmail using the lookup of MB/MGROUP Records
of the Nameserver (named)?  The Host Lookup is of no problems,
but he never looks up for MB Records. What do I have to do?

Thanks,

Michael

(New to sendmail, RTFM, confused, need help.)

I want one of our local hosts to receive all UUCP
mail for our site that is undeliverable (i.e. where
foo!user and foo is _not_ a local uucp host.) 

This local uucp gateway should be reachable by both
uucp and smtp (i.e. smtp if the system has it otherwise
uucp) and then, (this is where I get confused) our local
uucp gateway should ship out undeliverable uucp mail to
_its_ uucp gateway. (i.e. foo!user becomes remote!foo!user
and gets  sent to remote.) The only thing that comes close
in the configuration files just wants to use smtp to route
the stuff locally to some other host that apparantly knows
how to stick a remote host in front of foo!user.

And on another subject, our System V uucp hosts send our
SMTP mailers mail that has headers like "apparently-to:"
instead of "to:". Is this a known problem with SV mailers?

Any insights would help.
