This sendmail.cf file I've got is almost perfect. If the host name appears in /etc/hosts, it directly connects to the machine and sends the mail, else it forwards it to a specified relay machine to see if it can figure out the name. It seems to have problems with mixed uucp/internet addresses, though. I send messages to the two addresses below, and the first one is ok, the second one fails. $ testmail richter!benioff!krowitz@mit-erl $ testmail richter!benioff!krowitz@erl.mit.edu $ mail Mail version 2.18 5/19/83.
