The UUCP_RELAY is a fairly bogus thing to have if you are connected through UUCP yourself, although it's kinda mandatory. :-] Default sendmail.cf files are something that should never be used, i can't remember any machine where i've been able to use it. It would probably be better to have a stripped down default file, as opposed to an all-whistles-and-bells file generated from freefall.mc. (Who ever got the idea to ship this twisted setup as the default?) The stripped down version should just do SMTP delivery and nothing else. People are expected to install the `ssmailcf' distribution if they need a customized config file, about the same as they are expected to install the `ssys' distribution if they need a specific kernel. Have a look at the sendmail-via-UUCP setup description in the FAQ. It's basically my configuration, and runs well here. The mailertable is the most practical way for UUCP sites. Nevertheless, i think in your case, it's DG-RTP's mailer that finally munges all addresses. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
