Message-ID: Date: 16 Jan 90 02:31:44 GMT Reply-To: davidm@nixtor.UUCP (David Macklem) Organization: Nixdorf Computer Canada Ltd. Lines: 25 In the configuration that is running here, patch 15 causes local addresses to have the @hostname tacked onto them. This means that local addresses are now changed by elm from 'jsmith' to jsmith@nixtor'. Unfortunately our sendmail can't handle this and returns with the nice error message: "I refuse to talk to myself." (or some such thing). I'd like to know if this is a problem with the sendmail config file (and whether I should dust off the sendmail manuals) or whether this is a problem with the latest patch. We're running sendmail, smail and pathalias. (I can't believe that our configuration is so different from anyone else's - so why isn't anybody else mentioning this?) For those in the know, the change that caused the problem is in addr_util.c around line 345 - the USE_DOMAIN and INTERNET stuff. Our configuration has INTERNET #define'd and USE_DOMAIN #undef'ed. This change has been backed off here until further info.
