Help ....
This is shri ( ...shri%shakti@uunet.uu.net ).
I need some help with the sendmail configuartion file.
I have been experimenting with the sendmail configuration file to learn
more of its secrets, as we do not have much documentation on it.
I ran into some problems, hence the following questions. Thanx for any help ...
1. Sendmail has a SYSERR message in it. What causes this to be issued ?
I triggered this off with a uucp mail address rewrite rule that converted
one address into one without the conventional ! sign.
This was with a mailer called "uucpf", to distiguish it from the usual
uucp mailer.
How did sendmail trap this ? How does it know it is uucp mail ?
How can I get over this problem ?
2. rmail seems to add the remote hostname to the beginning of the from
address in the mail header. Where does it pick up this informaion from ?
Some hosts on our network do not confirm to the RFC822 format. So some pre-
processing is needed to convert the headers here.
Thanx for all help
Please mail replies to shri%shakti@uunet.uu.net.
