I have a problem. I'm also having trouble with sendmail and the mhhcp program from the York Comms package. First scenario: Email arrives via SMTP to the sendmail daemon. It processes it and resolves it to the 'hhcp' mailer for the host 'nsf'. It passes it on to hhsend which in turn passes it to mhhcp which then dies with the error 'mhhcp: network address "nsf" not found.' and the mail is returned. Second Scenario: Email is sent from 'elm' on the machine with the X25 interface to the same address. Elm starts a local sendmail which in turn calls hhsend and mhhcp. The email is sent normally. This is for version 4.12 of sendmail with UK-sendmail 1.4 running on Dynix 3.15 (sequent symmetry). I've done the obvious of rebuilding the directory.[pag|dir] and restarting the daemon. I've tried running mhhcp by hand under the bourne shell as the user 'daemon' and it works perfectly. I've checked the permissions of the files and run mhhcp as an ordinary unpriviledged user and it still works. As far as I can tell it is only the address 'nsf' that fails, all the others I've tried work and even using 'nsfnet-relay' works OK (which is the long name of 'nsf' in the directory). If anyone can come up with some suggestions I would be grateful. -- ______ JANET :jonathan@uk.ac.keele.cs Jonathan Knight, / BITNET:jonathan%cs.kl.ac.uk@ukacrl Department of Computer Science / _ __ other :jonathan@cs.keele.ac.uk University of Keele, Keele, (_/ (_) / / UUCP :...!ukc!kl-cs!jonathan Staffordshire.
