Well, it's time to ask one of the sendmail gurus what's going on.
---At least I think the problem is with my sendmail configuration.
It may be in one of the other /etc system config files.
For months I have had troubles getting mail from my MX link site,
tera.com, to my FreeBSD machine, tao.thought.org. There were a
few brief times when mail seemed to get through without any problems
whatever. ...Then, recently, our sysadmin installed a new version
of sendmail (here at tera). But he also got mail going into my
uucp spool directory.
Fine. But when I dial in with UUCP, the mail is transfered and
winds up in my /var/spool/mqueue directory. I finally discovered
where /bin/rmail was stashing it away. ---BTW, this happened before;
last January, February.
Anyway, can anybody help me out with whatever magic incantations
are required to get my mail delivered. Either in sendmail.cf or
wherever I have to declare `tera' or `tera.com' and my own system.
It would be nice to have mail work either via UUCP or my PPP link,
and eventually I'll set that up. But for now, I simply want mail
to go out and be received and delivered by good old UUCP.
Thanks for help here!
