I got a problem to get the "sendmail" receive mail from other computer
properly.
The problem is on the Stellix 2.3B ( GS2000 ) which is system V.3.
After the OS was installed, I put my domain, local and host as follows:
DDxxx.xxx.edu
CDlocal machine.xxx.xxx.edu
DRzzz
(here zzz is a root host for the LAN.)
then I could send mail to other computers on the network and I can also
send mail to local users by using:
sendmail username
But I can not use:
sendmail username@machine.xxx.xxx.edu
( <-- machine is local hostname.)
I used : sendmail -v user@machine
I got the message indicating that the mail was sent to "zzz.xxx.xxx.edu".
and then I can see the coming mail by mailq, and then mail was returned.
So I put the following in my sendmail.cf file:
in rule set S0: R$*<@machine.xxx.xxx.edu> $#local$:$1
then I can use: sendmail username@machine.xxx.xxx.edu
and the mail can be received.
But all the coming mail from other computers was returned with a message
indicating that the mail had been hoped several times and finally was
returned to the sender.
If the coming mail from other computer is also sent by sendmail using
sendmail.cf, I don't understand why mail can be sent to user mail box
by typing : sendmail username@machine.xxx.xxx.edu
and the coming mail with the same address(same format) can not be
received.
