Well, we are running smail 3.1 there and not sendmail. However, I have a sendmail.cf for an older Solaris sendmail that does what you probably want. > That is not only me that have this type of problem. I know that for sure; that is part of why I'm not using sendmail except for a few (mostly Sun) sites. The sendmail.cf that works is a modification of Sun's 'leaf' configuration to use uucp for the default transport instead of ether, and to do domain addressing instead of uucp '!' addressing. I'll see if I have a copy on this machine and if so will send it here: The changes from Sun's are the 'major relay mailer' ether->uucp, and the rule numbers in the uux command line. I'll add #PAC comments in the changed places... NB O'Reilly's sendmail book is the thickest one in their entire sysadmin series; there must be a reason :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ########################################################### # # SENDMAIL CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SUBSIDIARY MACHINES # # You should install this file as /etc/sendmail.cf # if your machine is a subsidiary machine (that is, some # other machine in your domain is the main mail-relaying # machine).
