I hope this is the right news group to post this request. Curently, we are using a sendmail.cf file configured for a machine with "only uucp connections". The symbol ! has the highest precedence. This folly has now caught up with us, and I have taken on the task to correct our sendmail.cf file. I am new to the guts of sendmail, so any help to would be apreciated. As a side issue: The line in the "from:" field is in the form cornell!foo@blort.edu and when a reply (via "r") is sent the mail often disappears. Addresses in the form foo@blort.edu work fine. Is there a way not to have the cornell! prepended to the "from" address line? Thanks in advance. Cammie Howard cammie%oravax.uucp@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu System Administrator Odyssey Reseach Assoc.

Is there a way not to have the cornell! prepended to the "from" address line? I don't have my sendmail manual here, and it's been months since I looked at it, but there are two things to consider: one fix is to have a rule for: single token (cornell?) ! token @ random.stuff that spits out token@random.stuff This should work for both outgoing and ingoing mail. -- ------------- Stephen Samuel {ihnp4,ubc-vision,vax135}!alberta!edm!steve or userzxcv@uofamts.bitnet
