Well not too much at a time ... surely, sendmail has to be told, how mail has to be delivered to certain machines ... Usually you have a connection to an ISP, so this is your smarthost... Or you are directly connected to Internet, so your sendmail probably is configured to deliver mails itself ... Although some people still prefer sending mail to a smarthost via uucp over IP... So it's done batched and might save money on an expensive dialup line ... READ /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/README carefully ... You might need something like the mailertable or domaintable feature, to deliver mail to some locally connected machines ... Sendmail will be configured via macro files habe a look in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf ... If there is a foo.mc file, then type 'make foo.cf' and this file is your sendmail.cf .... you can test it via sendmail address test mode before installing it in /etc/sendmail.cf... sendmail -bt -Cfoo.cf > 3,0 testperson@foo.do.main Then sendmail will tell you, how it would deliver the mail to the mail address ... So you can test your delivery ... Don't forget to type the 3,0 in from of each tested address ! > Also, I have gone over all the Taylor UUCP documentation I can find, and > still cannot figure it out. Well, it's a bit complicated for a fist time beginner, but not impossible ... Here is my sendmail.mc file for a first start ... Look in sendmails README file about the domain and mailertable feature and with some modifications you should get a working sendmail. And if then additionally your uucp is well configured, everythig should be fine ;-)) divert(-1) include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`@(#)klemm.mc 1.1 (AKL) 20/03/96') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl Dmklemm.gtn.com MASQUERADE_AS(klemm.gtn.com)dnl define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$m')dnl define(`UUCP_MAX_SIZE', 2000000)dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `uucp-dom:easix')dnl define(`UUCP_RELAY', `uucp-dom:easix')dnl # queue each job, uux's -r flag, uucp transmission via cron # define(`UUCP_MAILER_ARGS',`uux - -r -z -a$g -gC $h!rmail ($u)')dnl # immediate delivery for each mail define(`UUCP_MAILER_ARGS',`uux - -z -a$g -gC $h!rmail ($u)')dnl FEATURE(nodns)dnl FEATURE(nocanonify) FEATURE(use_cw_file) FEATURE(always_add_domain) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(local_procmail) MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(uucp)dnl __ andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
