I am using Berkeley's latest (?) sendmail. I first noticed the problem on Saturday, 02 DEC 89, when I replied to a mail item received from tcp-ip. I got the message bounced with a host unknown error. I attempted to resubmit the mail item by using the following commands: m tcp-ip@nic.ddn.mil ~f Retrieve the "bounced" mail item ~e Edit out the old mail header . Send the mail item Received another host unknown error. Attempted to send another message using the following commands: mail -v tcp-ip@nic.ddn.mil with cc: to sms@lonex.radc.af.mil. Message was first sent to RADC and then to NIC. After the connection to NIC was closed, the following was displayed on the terminal >/etc/. permission denied Any thoughts?
