My setup: 4.3BSD w/NFS (Mt. Xinu) UNIX, sendmail 5.59 with IDA 1.2.
What I'm doing: A fellow is preparing to join the .us domain, and has asked
me to be his MX forwarder. I can handle adding the proper MX entry to my
DNS info.
My question: how do I configure sendmail to recognize mail to his .us
address, convert it to his UUCP address, and send it off?
I'm a novice at configuring sendmail, so please go gentle with me. :-)
Please email any help or tips, I'll post a summary if asked. Thanks
in advance.
Tim

You can stick all the lines you want in your data files, but unless the authority is delegated to you, nobody will ever ask you for them. ) My question: how do I configure sendmail to recognize mail to his .us ) address, convert it to his UUCP address, and send it off? Here's what I do to forward mail to *.chi.il.us to the uucp neighbor "clout". These lines: # forward to UUCP-served internet domains R$*<@$+.CHI.IL.US>$* $#uucpinet$@clout$:$1<@$2.chi.il.us>$3 CHI.IL.US are in ruleset zero, and the mailer "uucpinet" is defined as follows: Muucpinet, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=mDFMhu, S=14, R=24, M=100000, A=uux - -r -z -a$f -gB $h!rmail ($u) For comparison, the standard UUCP and SMTP mailers are defined by: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=mDFMhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000, A=uux - -r -z -a$f -gC $h!rmail ($u) Mtcp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMueXLC, S=14, R=24, A=IPC $h, E=\r\n So you can see that the "uucpinet" mailer is a hybrid of the other two, using UUCP for transport but the SMTP address rewriting rules. ________________________________________________________ Matt Crawford matt@oddjob.uchicago.edu
