SENDMAIL HELP WANTED !!!
I would dearly love to get sendmail working on my NCR Towers. We have a small
network running WIN/TCP Rel.4.0.0.2.
When we first got the WIN I did not use sendmail and used a combination of
ELM, smail2.3 and deliver running on UUCP over TCP to move mail around
internally. I've decided to take the plunge and use sendmail and smtp now so
I re-configured the various mail agents to use sendmail and tried to use it.
The local ( ie intra-node ) mail parts are OK and any UUCP bits are OK, but
the SMTP will not work.
The rc scripts run 'sendmail -bd -q20m' which promptly core dumps. When a
connection request is made the current invocation of sendmail core dumps,
which I guess I'd expect. I *THINK* that before I changed smail to use sendmail
the daemon ran OK. What confuses me is that if it did previously run OK why the
change to smail should make any difference.
Does anyone have any clues ???
I think I may like to resort to getting the sendmail source to sdb etc to
try and track down the problem , do any UK people know where to get it over
UKNET or UUCP ???
PS The sendmail *says* it is ( from a what ) :
/usr/lib/sendmail: sendmail.h 4.2 8/28/83
The cf file(s) I've tried are
# SCCS_ID - "@(#)sendmail.cf (TWG) 3.5 88/11/03 "
### sendmail configuration for generic complex host ###
### with both UUCP and Internet connections ###
### Erik E. Fair <fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu> ###
and
# @(#)template.cf 2.5 (smail) 9/15/87
Thanks Ian
