This is only for sendmail *wizards* out there. It took me two hours of messing round with the /etc/mail/* files on ns1|sage before I just gave up. After I rebooted both servers to get mail to default to tao. After my first "fatal trap" on 01 Sept, I changed (uncommented) my ^Cw tao.thought.org line on sage's sendmail.cf to get mail going to sage rather than tao. I do realize that this Cw line means: route all mail for "tao" to localhost, which here was sage. With this Cw commented out, mail for kline@thought.org was routed to tao. Uncommented, and mail stayed in sage.thought.org. My one question is given that mail defaults to my ns1.thought.org, HOW can I get it to go to (say) zen.thought.org, or to tao.thought.org? or to ethos.thought.org? OR what re-initialization do I have to do? other than a shutdown -r now?? I thought I had this down cold, but nope..... gary PS: Mail from my magnesium.net account mailed explicitedly to kline@sage.thought.org, kline@ethos.thought.org, kline@zen.thought.org, or kline@tao.thought.org---in other words, using the FQDN-- gets to which ever server. But how do I make "kline@thought.org" reach a specific server?? PS: Apologizes if this seems like an obscure question; it IS.... -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
