I'm running SCO OpenDesktop 1.1.
I've seen some discussion here recently about sendmail not being able to
deliver mail coming from the outside because of the luid intricacies.
Well, I got bit too. But I don't know if it's the same problem. I start
sendmail from /etc/tcp with
/bin/su root -c " /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m" 2>/dev/null
I poll my uucp mail feed every two hours.
If I wait for the Poll, the transfer takes place (as I see in the uucp logs)
but I never see the incoming mail messages. They just vanish. I can't find
them anywhere. Maybe I don't know enough about the mail system. I looked in
/usr/spool/uucp and all its subdirectories, and in /usr/spool/mqueue.
If I start the poll manually with uutry everything works fine.
What's going on?
