[bit.listserv.pmdf-l] PMDF 3.1 doesn't find non-adjacent Bitnet nodes

PAUL@UKANVAX (02/03/90)

I brought up PMDF 3.1 this morning and send/received Internet mail just
fine. Bitnet mail to adjacent nodes went out fine. When I addressed
something to in%"user@ukacrl.bitnet" it was bounced with unknown host/domain.

One of my last acts before trying it out was to copy jan_sys:lmd.com to
pmdf_root:[exe], but that was after the boot. Was this a problem?

Incidently - mail addressed jnet%"user@ukacrl.bitnet" went out fine.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

It sounds to me like you did not run JNET_PMDF.COM to build DOMAIN.DAT
containing all your BITNET systems. Failing that, did you copy over
DOMAIN.DAT from your old PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE] to the new one?

The fact that outgoing mail to adjacent BITNET nodes (which are specified
in PMDF.CNF) works means that there's no problem with the PMDF-JNET
interface. This is  configuration problem.

You also said you copied JAN_SYS:LMD.COM to PMDF_ROOT:[EXE]. That's backwards;
you copy the file in the other direction and restart the JNET server for your
local system (so BN_SLAVE gets run). You probably just said it backwards,
but it was worth mentioning...

Hope this helps.
