On page C-16 of Appendix C: Sendmail: An Internetwork Mail Router of the On-Line Documentation, the notes mention certain directories and files that are just NOT on the distribution: "ln -s cf.named cf" This is an attempt to make a symbolic link from cf.named to the cf (or vise versa, I always get this mixed up). Well, the top of the page says all examples assume to eminate form the sendamil source tree. On the distribution, most of the sendmail files are in /private/etc/sendmail except for two in /usr/lib (sendmail* and sendmail.hf which I think is a help file). So my question is this...uhm, what is the appendix C trying to show me how to do? My goal is to try and get sendmail working correctly given the campus environment we have here (there is a named server and a forwarding site and a bitnet gate and the works on top of that) like most other large campuses. Has anyone done the sendmail config and would like to share the experience (no California jokes please). If you like, send to me directly and I'll post a summary to the nets. Thanks in advance for any help. Roger Jagoda Cornell University FQOJ@CORNELLA.CIT.CORNELL.EDU

Oh, you mean the _NeXT_ distribution. Ha ha. Those appendices are all just Berkeley's documentation converted to WriteNow--word for word identical. >So my question is this...uhm, what is the appendix C trying to show >me how to do?

You can find raw materials on sutro.sfsu.edu in ~ftp/pub; see README.sendmail sendmail.diskless.diff sendmail.sutro.diff patch.Z (if you need it) The diskless version uses the diskfull one as a forwarder, and munges the headers to appear to come from it (since they use the same netinfo passwd and the diskless machines are all MXed just in case). If you want to see how THAT's done, grab nslookup.tar.Z as well so you can query the DNS from your cubes. Anyway, you should be able to draw upon these as examples. -=EPS=- (in sunny California)
