Hi
I have a very simple problem that I am sure someone will be
able to help me with.
I'm trying to configure sendmail 5.1 so I can send mail across
ethernet. The host computer is "bert" and the target computer is
"ernie." We're running Irix (SGI's SYS V). According to TFM, all
I have to do for a direct SMTP connection is add the lines:
CSernie
CSbert.
Unfortunatley when I do this I get a rewrite message:
rewrite: expansion too long.
I know the hosts file in /etc is OK because I can rlogin to ernie.
So I changed the SMTP definition to:
FS/etc/mailhosts
Still I receive the same message.
What obvious and fundamentally stupid thing am I doing!
