[comp.mail.sendmail] Problem using UK-2.1

ach@cl.cam.ac.uk (02/01/90)

Hi,

I am having a problem using the UK-2.1 sendmail configuration package on
a Sun 3/60 (Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.5) with SunLink-X25. The idea is to
configure the Sun as a single host domain on JANET.

I have generated domain and channel tables using c-nrs in sendmail mode,
and supplemented these with one line local domain and channel tables
containing

mrc-dunn mrc-dunn.cam.ac.uk

and

mrc-dunn.cam.ac.uk

respectively. The top channel file is the top domain file.

The config file for Config is included below

------
# mandatory

config=mrc-dunn
domain=mrc-dunn.cam.ac.uk

# optional

options=nrsformat
postmaster=MAILER-DAEMON
tabledir=tables
install=-f

# domains

domain std file="abbrev.dom" # generated by c-nrs
domain std file="ac.dom"     # generated by c-nrs
domain std file="cam.dom"    # generated by c-nrs
domain std file="local.dom"
domain std file="junk.dom"   # generated by c-nrs
domain top file="top.dom"    # generated by c-nrs
domain std file="uk.dom"     # generated by c-nrs

# channels

channel janet file="janet.chn" # generated by c-nrs
channel local file="local.chn"
channel top file="top.dom"     # generated by c-nrs
-----

I run Config without any problems, and following the instructions in the 
Docs/Overview, I cd to mrc-dunn and go through the various makes. 

make check

throws-up a few duplicate domains names which I ignore for now.

make

completes ok and produces a reasonable looking mrc-dunn.cf file.

make test

is where the problem starts. Local mail addresses are parsed correctly
including each of

0 andy
0 andy@mrc-dunn

However, any other non-local addresses result in "Domain Unknown".
Nevertheless, I proceeded to install it. (By the way I had to edit
the Install.sh file which had a couple of split lines).
Running mail to a non-local address results in the message "Domain Unknown" 
and causes sendmail to core-dump with a segmentation violation.

Help!

I am new to all of this stuff, and am not 100% sure about things.
I hope I have described my problem sufficiently for you to make some
sort of diagnosis.

Thanks for any advice you can offer, Andy Harter.
