I have four mVAXen running Ultrix 2.3 . One of these, named caesar is to be the central mail handling system. I want the other three (khan, nero, ming) to forward everything... to caesar for processing. Including users on the local machine. The end result I'm looking for is for all mail to be processed and held on one node. Is this doable??

I run a variation on this scheme where all mail is sent to a central mail handler, but may then be sent out to the user's workstation if this is where he/she prefers to take mail. All the machines run sendmail and are connected by ethernet. Each machine will recognise its own name in a "user@host" address, but passes everything else to the central mail handler where the main aliases file is kept. The advantage is that only one aliases file need be kept for the whole network. The workstations' .cf file has the following features: Assume $M = ether $R = your master machine At some earlier point recognise all forms of your master machine's name and rewrite to "LOCAL", then S0 # delete redundant local info R$*<$*$=w.LOCAL>$* $1<MYUSER>$4 thishost.LOCAL R$*<@LOCAL>$* $1<@$D>$2 host == domain gateway R$*<$*$=w.uucp>$* $1<MYUSER>$4 thishost.uucp R$*<$*$=w>$* $1<MYUSER>$4 thishost R$*<$*.>$* $1<$2>$3 drop trailing dot # handle real local users R$+<MYUSER>$* $#local $:$1 local user # everything else gets sent to the relay for aliasing R$+ $#$M $@$R $:$1 username The master machine needs little modification except that when mailing a workstation it must still use the "user@host" address or the mail will bounce right back! R$*<@$*$=S.LOCAL>$* $#ether $@$3 $:$1@$2$3$4 user@etherhost.LOCAL R$*<@$*$=S>$* $#ether $@$3 $:$1@$2$3 user@etherhost Hope this is of help. --Andy Ingle

I am helping to administer a small network of Sun workstations...we use SMTP
to send mail between the Suns and uux to send amil to a neighboring UUCP
host who forwards external mail for us.
uux works....we can send amil to the neighboring host...nut the To: and From:
lines keep getting fouled up. I made some changes to the sendmail.cf but to
no avail.
From line now (for UUCP mail): dave%zippy.UUCP
What I would like From: line to look like: dave@zippy.UUCP
To line now: user%host.domain
What I would like To: line to look like: user@host.domain
Here is the current sendmail.cf:
