I am using sendmail "version.c 8.8.7.3 (Berkeley) 8/3/97", which has been working. Lately, I have been getting undeliverable mail messages when I cc myself. If I do not cc myself, the mail seems to be delivered OK. If I send mail to myself as tomdean@ix.netcom.com, I get the undeliverable message. If I send mail to myself as tomdean@celebris, it works. I may have changed something, but, I don't remember doing it. Asleep at the wheel? I have looked thru the sendmail readme's. Nothing seems applicable to this problem. Is this a domain problem? I see "domain must resolve" in /var/log/maillog. I am using emacs 19.34.1. user-mail-address is tomdean@ix.netcom.com and mail-host-address is nil. uname -a FreeBSD celebris 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #2: \ Mon Aug 25 13:27:44 PDT 1997 \ root@celebris:/usr/src/sys/compile/CELEBRIS-SMP i386 I have an masquerade entry in /etc/sendmail.cf "DMix.netcom.com". Is there another value that I need to set for mail to myself? hostname is celebris. domainname is NULL. I have a local network, with /etc/hosts entries: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.tddhome 192.168.1.3 celebris celebris.tddhome 192.168.1.2 tddti tddti.tddhome 192.168.1.1 tdd486 tdd486.tddhome /etc/host.conf has hosts bind /etc/resolv.conf has domain netcom.com nameserver 199.182.120.203 nameserver 199.182.120.202 If I send mail to tomdean@ix.netcom.com, I get undeliverable messages. I see the name celebris in the undeliverable mail messages. I thought the sendmail.cf DM entry and the emacs user-mail-address should have prevented this. What am I missing? ================= sample undeliverable mail ============================ 1, deleted,, Summary-line: 19-Oct MAILER-DAEMON [72] #Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours Mail-from: From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Oct 19 12:10:11 1997 Received: from localhost (localhost) by celebris.tddhome (8.8.7/8.8.5) with internal id MAA01668; Sun, 19 Oct 1997 12:10:11 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 19 Oct 1997 12:10:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON> Message-Id: <199710191910.MAA01668@celebris.tddhome> To: tomdean MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="MAA01668.877288211/celebris.tddhome" Subject: Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (warning-timeout) *** EOOH *** Date: Sun, 19 Oct 1997 12:10:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON> To: tomdean MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="MAA01668.877288211/celebris.tddhome" Subject: Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (warning-timeout) This is a MIME-encapsulated message --MAA01668.877288211/celebris.tddhome ********************************************** ** THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY ** ** YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE ** ********************************************** The original message was received at Sun, 19 Oct 1997 08:02:05 -0700 (PDT) from tomdean@localhost ----- The following addresses had transient non-fatal errors ----- tomdean@ix.netcom.com ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to ixsrs2.ix.netcom.com.: >>> MAIL From:<tomdean@celebris.tddhome> SIZE=90 <<< 451 <tomdean@celebris.tddhome>...
