[comp.mail.sendmail] 2 problems with 5.64/IDA

oneill@bass.bu.edu (Brian V O'Neill) (09/12/90)

I'm getting better at this, but I still have some problems....

First, we just upgrade our Sun 3/280 to run SunOS 4.1, and I took the
oppurtunity to install sendmail 5.64, and it compiled fine, but it will not
run as a daemon. Any ideas?

Second, I installed Sendmial 5.64/IDA on our gateway host (a Microvax-II
running Ultrix 4.0) and I am having a major problem. The system is
officially known as ul-cs.ulowell.edu, but has the following aliases:

	ulowell.edu
	cs.ulowell.edu
	swan.ulowell.edu
	ulowell.ulowell.edu

As well as shortened names for internal use. I defined PSEUDONYMS and
ALTERNATENAMES to handle these. However, with mail addressed to
"user@ulowell.edu", the mail is sen to ul-cs fine, then it seems to try and
send mail to itself as ulowell.edu, and fails with this error:

While talking to ulowell.edu:
>>> HELO ul-cs
<<< 553 Local configuration error, hostname not recognized as local
554 <oneill@ulowell.edu>... Service unavailable

Why is it trying to send to itself?

Thanx...
