I need some expert help with the following situation: Physical machine configuration (outside world) | uucp | asihub.AUTOSYS.COM | |____ ethernet ___ host1 host2... | uucp | |__ remote1, remote2 All hosts are in the domain "autosys.com". I have mail working fine between any host on the local ethernet and the outside world. Mail is also working correctly between "asihub" and the remote hosts. Asihub is running smail 2.5 with Ultrix 3.x sendmail. The remote hosts are also running smail 2.5 with Ultrix 3.x sendmail. At this time the remote hosts are not setup to generate domain based mail headers. Mail is sent to asihub with uucp from: headers. THE PROBLEM: When sending mail to "user@remote1.AUTOSYS.COM", smail fails to resolve the name "remote1.AUTOSYS.COM". WHAT I NEED TO KNOW: How do I tell smail what machines are in my domain that I talk to via uucp? Is it possible that the sendmail.cf must know about all directly connected uucp hosts and of those that are in my domain? Is is necessary to add an entry like: remote1.AUTOSYS.COM= remote1 to my map files? I am confused. Hope you can help. -- Dan O'Neill dan@asihub.AUTOSYS.COM {uunet|ncr-sd}!asihub!dan Automated Systems, Inc. San Diego R&D

You can add such an entry to your Pathalias map data and/or add a special rule in your sendmail.cf under Ruleset 0 (S0) to catch mail for said machine and send it via uucp/smail to the proper host. Fred
