To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org (FreeBSD Questions Mailgroup) Date: Wed, 10 Apr 1996 10:32:55 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL11 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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! gary kline Enclosed: some log//output found in /var/spool/mqueue.
