Message-ID: <2544@blake.acs.washington.edu> Date: 25 Jun 89 09:13:22 GMT Reply-To: mtsu@blake.UUCP (Montana State) Distribution: usa Organization: University of Washington, Seattle Lines: 181 OK I fold. I have an hp9000/350 running HPUX that my users have decided needs to talk to the rest of the world. Sendmail has been working fine for local (to the machine) stuff. So I hop into /usr/lib/sendmail.cf to set up the domain name, refreeze the configuration file, fire off a test message, and voila' she don't work. Here's a short example dali # mailx mathisen@caesar Subject: a wimpy little test EOT Null message body; hope that's ok dali # sendmail: mathisen@caesar... Network node caesar not recognized at this s ite tail /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog Jun 25 03:00:33 AA08738: to=mathisen, delay=00:00:04, stat=unknown mailer error 1 Jun 25 03:00:34 AA08744: from=MAILER-DAEMON, size=0, class=0 Jun 25 03:00:36 AA08744: to=root, delay=00:00:03, stat=Sent Jun 25 03:01:10 AA08752: from=root, size=48, class=0 Jun 25 03:01:11 AA08758: from=MAILER-DAEMON, size=0, class=0 Jun 25 03:01:13 AA08758: to=root, delay=00:00:02, stat=Sent dali # Nothing I seem to do fixes the problem. I've included the relevant portions of my sendmail.cf... Not the rulesets, as I didn't touch them. Heck this is almost an exact duplicate of /etc/newconfig/sendmail.cf. Also in one of my permutations, I ended up with sendmail tacking on a .ARPA to my host name which was already fully-qualified, yet the was no 'arpa' any where in the file. I wish HP's sendmail would've dropped into place like Ultrix's, but then, I wish DEC would take HP's diskless node ideas and use 'em ... Oh well, just wanting everything I guess. Thanx for any help. ###################### ### local macros ### ###################### # your official UUCP hostname (should come from "uuname -l") DH$w # class L defines alternate host names (host name aliases) which refer to # the local host.
