I'd like MMDF to use SMTP to deliver to machines on the network, but I don't want to have to make up a /usr/mmdf/table/smtp.chn file that includes every machine on the network. I'd rather have it ask the nameserver (yes, there's one running) to translate the name into an IP address, and send it to our main gateway machine if the nameserver doesn't know about that domain name. There doesn't appear to be a way to do this. Is there? SCO's port of MMDF does not contain nameserver support. They did this so that systems could be configured without TCP and still run MMDF. SCO ships an old version of MMDF, but it does seem to have had the option of being built with nameserver support. A while back, I built update 43, but had lots of problems. It did not seem to be compatible with SCO's mail user agent. It also would not work with SCO's inetd. I configured it with nameserver support, but never got around to testing that. Has anyone had better luck building the current version on ODT? -- -Bob Kukura internet: rk@theep.boston.ma.us uucp: spdcc!theep!rk
