[comp.unix.xenix.sco] rmail -> sendmail problems

brentb@montagne.Eng.Sun.COM (Brent Browning) (09/19/90)

   A friend has SCO Xenix 2.3.2c running on a Tandem box and is trying
to get a uucp connection up and running and has run into a problem.  Outgoing
mail is fine, incoming mail makes it into the queue, uuxqt does it's job,
then something hangs.

   If you run uuxqt with debugging turned on, you see everything up
until the point when it hands off to rmail.  At that point if you do a
"mailq" it shows one message with no control file.  If you kill the uuxqt
and try it again it hangs in the same place.

   Are there known problems with rmail or sendmail in 2.3.2?  Rmail is
a simple program that is just supposed to rewrite the From fields
and then pass the data on to sendmail -f.  Please respond to me directly
since I don't regularly read this newsgroup.
