Anderson) Distribution: na Organization: Sales Technologies Inc., "The Little Shop of Horrors..." Lines: 30 I have a stock Sys V machine, with sockets extensions (Convergent S640, OS rev 5.2.25). I installed smail and deliver with no problems and we have been using it successfully for a year. We are ethernetted internally and are using rlogin, ftp regularly. But we have not had the smtp mail transport. I recently ported the Berkeley sendmail to this machine and have sucessfully sent/received mail to/from Suns, Vaxen (running Wollongong), and Interactive Unix boxes. Here's the question: What is the configuration I should set up using svbinmail(/bin/mail), /bin/lmail, /usr/bin/deliver, /bin/{smail,rmail}, and /usr/lib/sendmail ? 1) svbinmail (/bin/mail) calls rmail who calls sendmail who calls deliver. 2) svbinmail calls sendmail who calls smail (for offsite address) and who calls deliver (for local addresses). rmail is a link to sendmail. 3) any number of other configurations... I can eventually arrive at a solution, but i KNOW that someone has a recommendation for doing this correctly. And I don't want to create a nightmare for my sysadmin (who is already losing his hair!). Help? Thanks, paul -- Paul Anderson (w) (404) 841-4000 gatech!stiatl!pda (h) (404) 662-0799
