[comp.unix.sysv386] ESIX sendmail.cf and other interesting files

is@athena.cs.uga.edu ( Bob Stearns) (12/14/90)

I have successfully installed ESIX 2.3.2d and got TELNET and FTP working. I am
totally unable to mail out or receive (except in the trivial case of mail x,
where x is a local user id). If you have the subject system working, I would
appreciate a clue or two as to your methods. If you plan to send me a large
set of configuration files and tables, E-mail me first. All help gratefully
accepted, Nomex clothing in place, already RTM'd, I'm out of ideas.

The apparent basic failure is an inability to locate the appropriate user when
a message comes into the system, or when sent locally with a full address of
user@machine.domain. Outbound mail failure is similar, in that the target
machine.domain is not findable; at least that how I interpret the messages.
.
The machine is in the local host table, and is also known by the local
name server.
