I think this has been answered -- but I'll throw my .02 in. On Mon, 13 Jan 1997, Jan A Knepper wrote: [snip] ->However, if they want to reply, their mail never gets delivered to the ->Internet! They are able to send mail to each other. I haven't seen 2.2-BETA yet, but I believe 2.1.5's sendmail.cf didn't have uucp support built in. So you'll have to make a new sendmail.cf. (I'm assuming your connection is uucp only.) cd to /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf and copy an appropriate *.mc file. "generic-bsd4.4.mc" is probably OK. Add these lines: MAILER(uucp)dnl define(`SMART_HOST', uucp-dom:your.provider)dnl Cw localhost uucpname host.domain.name Check the README -- there may be other options you want. Run it through m4 to create a new sendmail.cf. Test it: sendmail -C /path/to/new.cf -bt <address> and if it works -- install it and restart sendmail. The SMART_HOST says, "If you don't know who this is for -- send it to your provider using the uucp-dom mailer." Depending on your local network, you may want to add: FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl FEATURE(nodns)dnl nocanonify says, "Don't monkey with the address." And nodns, I think, is obvious. Hope this helps. -- Cheers, Jay
