I'm not sure where the problem is. I can mail to stb from my machine if I use bang path. ie. mailx stb!andyb It is picked up by uucp and delivered just fine. However, if I use an @ it returns a "user unknown" message. I set debug in mailx, and one of the things that caught my eye was, 'Recipients of message: "rmail" "-i" "andyb@stb.info.com"'. Now aside from the fact that the manual makes no mention of an "i" option to rmail (in fact it makes no mention of any options at all), I tried it from the command line and found that there is no -i option, but there are a slew of undocumented ones. Anyway, I tried 'set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail"'in the mailx startup file, and I STILL get both the above messages! Why do I have these strange recipients? Where are they coming from? Will they hurt me? I had thought I was using smail, and my /usr/lib/uucp/paths file I finally cut down to one line: smart-host stb!%s No go. If I do smail -A andyb@stb.info.com, (and using my original paths file which included some of the right stuff) then it resolves correctly. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks!!
