[mail.uk-sendmail-workers] Problems with Yellow Pages in UK 2.1

dwight@independent.uucp (Dwight Ernest) (05/17/89)

Greetings.

We're (finally getting around to) installing UK Sendmail v2.1 here.
Many distribution list managers in the UK will probably be very
relieved to hear this.

We do have it running now, but we have had a great deal of difficulty
trying to get it to work properly with Yellow Pages.

We are running SunOS 3.5. The mailhost is not a Yellow Pages server,
but is of course a client running ypbind. When we follow Jim's
documentation for making this work with YP, we get "_y" being printed
where the hostname from YP ought to come in (in sendmail -bt test mode).

Has anyone else already been through this trial and tribulation
with YP and UK-Sendmail 2.1? Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance.
