I'm having trouble using UK-Sendmail-2.1. I have domain tables which
correctly deliver fully qualified domain addresses given any uk academic
site.
For the channel tables all I largely want to do is pass and domain name
beginning with uk. straight onto unix-niftp. To do this I have a
file called 'local-janet.chn' which is configured as a janet
channel file in which I have the line:
uk.%s uk.%s
There is another file called janet.chn which holds all the other relaying
information.
When run in test mode I can see ruleset 16 gradually stripping the address
down until only 'uk' is left. I then get the 'Domain Unknown' error.
*What am I doing wrong?*
Here is the sendmail header:
derek.cs.keele.ac.uk Sendmail 4.12/UK-2.1 ready at Thu, 2 Feb 89 20:58:05 GMT
And here is Ruleset 16:

I suspect that you have put uk uk in your top.chn file, which should have a relay site on the right. We have uk uk.ac.ucl.cs in the top.chn, so that unknown uk domains (ie. not uk.ac uk.co uk.mod etc) which are probably new X.400 systems are passed to an X.400 capable system for interpretation.

The problem is that the top.chn entries above are stealing from you. Try re-arranging your config.site file so that top.chn is referenced after local-janet.chn . The documentation forgets to mention that the order of config.site file entries is significant. R$+@$+ $:$>9$1@$2 convert back to 822 style -Jem.

Bingo! That was the probelm. I had a line
uk uk
as you suggested. I had to have that line in otherwise I don't get uk as
a top domain, I also wanted to run wih top.chn and top.dom linked. Anyway,
re-ordering the config file ensured that the uk.%s was dealt with first.
Ta. for your help.
