I've just installed Interactive's tcp/ip module here at gaboon. When I receive mail from a remote site I get headers like the following (from white!root to gaboon!asv). -------------------------------------------------- From uucp Wed Nov 8 19:31:18 1989 Received: by gaboon.UUCP (5.51/smail2.2/06-30-87) id AA00245; Wed, 8 Nov 89 19:31:18 EST Date: Wed, 8 Nov 89 19:31:18 EST From: uucp (0000-uucp(0000)) Message-Id: <8911090031.AA00245@gaboon.UUCP> Apparently-To: asv Status: R >From root Wed Nov 8 19:14:39 1989 remote from white To: gaboon!asv Subject: test Date: Wed Nov 8 19:14:39 1989 blah, blah, blah... -------------------------------------------------- Mailx and/or Elm mailers pick up uucp as a return address no matter who the mail is from. It should be From root. Has anyone else experienced this on their 386ix system? What should I do to rectify this condition?

We had similar problems when we installed our 386/ix system and it was apparently caused by sendmail configuration. I can't remember the specifics, but check out the sendmail manual and the sendmail configuration file. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P.

I have been getting this ever since my system has been online (about 2 years). And I do not even have the tcp module installed. Just running basic mail does this. When I enter mailx, it shows me that all my mail is either from "root", "uucp", or "jep" (jep is my login). On other systems that I have accounts on, when I enter mailx it shows me who sent me the mail.

When I enter mailx, it shows me that all my mail is either from "root", "uucp", or "jep" (jep is my login). This is an easy one. Check out /usr/lib/install.mail. Once this script is run your problems should go away. Note: This script does MUCH MORE than just fix the above problem. Look at the script first and make sure you know the consequences of running it. (Such as installing smail). // marc -- // Marco S. Hyman {ames,pyramid,sun}!pacbell!dumbcat!marc
