I'm using UK-sendmail configuration kit version 2.1 to run a gateway
here at Keele. I am currently using UK-1.4 for the slave configuration
of a number of suns and another microvax.
Using 1.4 I was able to declare a list of ethernet hosts under our domain
name so that the slave's could send mail direct to local machines. I
then made sure that mail to any other host was sent to the gateway.
This had the nice side effect that if a new ethernet host was added,
the slaves could still get mail to it because they would send the
mail to the gateway.
Under 2.1 I can't seem to get the same effect. I can declare a list
of ethernet hosts alright, and any host that is not under our domain
is correctly sent to the gateway. However any hosts that are in our
domain which are not listed are rejected immediately and not sent to
the gateway.
Can anyone suggest a suitable configuration to achieve what I had
before?
......
Problem 2.
Occasionally I get mail from sites which have 'cs' in their address.
For example cs.vl.nl. When the mail arrives however sendmail appears
to play with it and alters it to: uk.ac.kl.cs.vl.nl which is
complete rubbish. I have the 'show local domain' option switched
on and this could be the cause of the problem. Usually this occurs
on addresses which have a top domain that I haven't got in my top.dom
file. This happens on both the gateway machine and the slaves.
Any help would be appreciated.
