Hello,
I need help. I am trying to reconfigure how mail gets handled on
my system and I am having problems.
The configuration of what I had working is:
SCO Xenix 2.3.3
ELM 2.3
smail 2.5
All mail was coming and going via UUCP. Almost all of the mail
was sent to/from uunet. I had smail configured so that any address
it did not know (it only knows about 3 sites that are local) about it
would send off to uunet as the smart-host.
This worked great. But, I now have a new machine that I need to send
mail to via TCP/IP. I have loaded up the sendmail that comes with the
sco xenix tcp/ip run time. I reconfigured ELM to use sendmail. I have
this working to a point. If I send mail to the single site that I am
connected with via TCP/IP that works. If I send mail to a UUCP site
that is known, the mail goes out via uucp correctly.
The problem is if I send a mail message to an unknown site, It ends
up in the sendmail mailq waiting to be sent to a site that it can not
reach. I would like for it to go via UUCP to uunet and let them resolve
the address ( as they have bee doing).
How do I do this. I have been going through the doc for sendmail, elm,
and smail, but I have not been able to get it to work right. Any
ideas or sudgestions would help.
Thanks.
