Message-ID: <1991May18.193649.23248@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu> Sender: usenet@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (News) Reply-To: Paul-Pomes@uiuc.edu Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana References: Date: Sat, 18 May 1991 19:36:49 GMT Lines: 68 In message you write: |I have a couple of questions/problems with Sendmail 5.65b with IDA |1.4.3 enhancements: | |1) I got it from UIUC, but for the life of me I cannot get it to work | with phquery...I have qi/ph installed and it seems to work fine. Does | anyone know the magic incantations to make sendmail call phquery to | check for an email address ? Assuming you are a) using ida/cf/Sendmail.mc file as your base, and b) want to send foo@sri.com addresses through phquery, edit the following files as follows: 1) ida/cf/yourhost.m4 Add the line define(ALTERNATENAMES, sri.com) 2) /usr/local/lib/mail/mailertable (or wherever mailertable lives) Add the line PH!cujo.csl.sri.com sri.com This assumes that cujo has phquery installed. |2) How does one set up the PATHALIAS table to use the Internet names | of sites to make UUCP mail delivery more efficient? For example, | the path from here to username at the uucp site unisql is: | | fernwood!ames!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!username The trick here is to have merge a local addition to the UUCP map data that lists a series of pseudo-connections. Example: cujo rutgers(DIRECT), mcsun(DIRECT), inria(DIRECT), xanth(DIRECT), cs.utexas.edu(DIRECT) combined with the published map data would generate the pathalias entry of cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!%s For each UUCP name in the list above, a mailertable entry is needed to locate the corresponding Internet domain name: TCP-U:rutgers.edu rutgers.uucp TCP-U:mcsun.eu.net mcsun.uucp TCP-U:inria.inria.fr inria.uucp TCP-U:xanth.cs.odu.edu xanth.uucp Mail sent to rutgers!foo!user will be sent to rutgers.edu via TCP while preserving a UUCP address in the header. Mail sent to user@rutgers.edu won't be affected and will have the usual domain address in the header. | Or mail to username@xanth.UUCP, gets rewritten (based upon the | pathalias table) to: | | fernwood!ames!xanth!username | | Where it could better be sent to: | | username@xanth.cs.odu.edu This could also be handled with domaintable. /pbp -- Paul Pomes, Computing Services Office University of Illinois - Urbana Email to Paul-Pomes@uiuc.edu
