ip@cns.umist.ac.uk (Ian Pallfreeman) (09/06/89)
I'm running a slightly-modified UK-2.1 on a 4.0.3 Sun 3/280 using the
provided sendmail (@(#)SendMail version 1.9 of 88/02/08). Everything is
fine and dandy except when somebody gives me an unknown domain, which
causes a segmentation fault:
sun% /usr/lib/sendmail -v nobody@nowhere < /dev/null
nobody@nowhere... Domain Unknown
Segmentation fault
sun%
I vaguely remember somebody mentioning the "OP" stuff in a similar context,
but that doesn't seem to make any difference, in or out. Other than getting
a fixed sendmail, is there any way I can stop this happening?
Thanks in anticipation,
Ian.

Domain Unknown |Segmentation fault This sounds like a bug in the original code sent out from Berkeley, but Sun should really have fixed it! In the case I am thinking of, *any* bounced mail causes a seg fault. The error is in savemail.c and involves passing NULL to strcmp() - OK (but bad practise) on VAX, duff on Sun. |I vaguely remember somebody mentioning the "OP" stuff in a similar context, |but that doesn't seem to make any difference, in or out.
