Hi all, About 6 months back I requested help in setting up my sendmail.cf to allow mail to go over my PPP link when connected that way *and/or* to go out via UUCP otherwise. Jerry Kendal responded with his sample sendmail configuration and the required /etc/uucp/* files. I plugged and patched in my own variables. Tried it. No joy. Below are the mods that I dropped in where Jerry marked ``Change this .....'' The mail (failure) yelped, in part, this: The original message was received at Fri, 23 Aug 1996 20:38:48 -0700 (PDT) from uucp@localhost ----- The following addresses have delivery notifications ----- kline@tera.com (unrecoverable error) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 Too many hops 18 (17 max): from kline@thought.org via localhost, to kline@te ra.com Any sendmail gurus out there who are savvy to what's going on here?? It'd be nice to have my system work more completely, altho not critical...
