I checked over the install.mail in /usr/lib, ran it and am having serious new mail problems now. If I now mail to myself ie: mailx mark or mailx gizzmo!mark The mail gets sent, but the date line is first rather than the from line, which kill the mailer upon trying to read it. Any incomming mail works just fine. Any Ideas? Mark Hilliard N2HHR

Yes, look in the sendmail.cf file for the line (about line number 268) which looks like: Mlocal, P=/bin/lmail, F=lsDFMhumSU, S=10, R=20, A=lmail -s $u ^ If you check out your sendmail.ocf file you will see that the U didn't exist in the Mlocal line. If you comment out that line and re-type it without the U (or just change it and and hope you remember you took it out :-) then that should fix your problems. -- Gordon. -- Gordon C.

I am running ISC Unix 3.2 which uses sendmail as a mailer. Mail is running fine, and paths and aliases are working - but I can't find the "transports" file - which I need to move the mail for by bbs users over into the correct directory. Where is this file checked for? larry@nstar

Where >is this file checked for? Transports is a "Smail 3" file. You need to either install smail 3 (which isn't a bad idea :-) or write a ruleset for sendmail that does the same thing as the rerouting of bbs users that smail 3 knows how to do. The second is probably going to be harder than the first option :-) -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 566-8911], Voice: [+1 708 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
