You have to use different node names for Waffle and the rest of the system. I have my system named ichaos.nullnet, the waffle is named field.ichaos.nullnet. (NullNet is our local UUCP-network, almost 30 hosts at the moment) I use smail3.1.24 as mailer on my system, and at the end of this message are my configuration files concerning Waffle/smail-interface. > What I'm looking for is a way to tell it: don't check, just pass messages > off to xenix and let it bounce them if necessary. > Two ways to do this: arrange your Waffle to have different node name or do some source hacking. Ok, here is a bunch of sliced configuration files.. .smail/routers: pathalias: driver=pathalias, method=normal, always; proto=bsearch, file=paths ************************************ .smail/transports: mailin: driver=pipe, inet, from, max_addrs=1, max_chars=80; cmd="/usr/waffle/bin/mailin $user", umask=0022, log_output, pipe_as_sender ************************************ .smail/methods/normal: field mailin * uux ************************************ .waffle/extern/_system: mail /command="/usr/bin/rmail -f %A@field.ichaos.nullnet %i" ************************************ /etc/waffle (aka waffle/system/static) node : field.ichaos.nullnet mail : %A (%W) news : %A (%W) netmail : %W <%A@%n> netnews : %W <%A@%n> ************************************ .I wonder whether this is of any help for anyone...
