Thanks Fred. I just want you to know that I have a similar message from you
in ALL of my sendmail files.

I did fix a problem that caused the question, but I still want to make sure
that I understand the sequences of the rules.

The reason is that I want to automate my test suite for sendmail
which I am including in the Ease 2.1 package. It's just a simple
hack, but for people struggling with sendmail files, it should
be useful. It also gives me a way to see if a change in the ruleset
breaks any addresses I use.


I have an input file that looks like this:

0	user@localmachine
0	user@some.domain
0	machine!user%a.edu@b.com
etc.
And it outputs, in tbl(1) format, five fields:

ruleset 	address 	mailer 	host 	user


Now I want to include rulesets for all of the above cases, including
each mailer (decnet, local ethernet, Internet, UUCP, smail, etc.)

I know the debug option (sendmail -bt -d21.12) always calls ruleset 3 to
start.  Therefore from your note I believe the proper way to test
each address is to use the combinations:

From (Envelope):	1,4,3,1,S,4	user@local
To (Envelope):		0,4		user@local
From:			1,S,4		user@local
To:, Cc:		2,R,4		user@local

Assuming I pick the correct rules for R and S, will this
test each of the above cases?

I need to get the correct incantations to test the SunOS, Ultrix, and
Berkeley/Ida sendmails, if possible. Am I on the right track?

And how is the UUCP From_ line controlled?
