MMDF configuration ... need help

	I've just compiled and installed MMDF on a 386 machine running Lynx OS
and need help in configuring the domain and channel tables (local and SMTP).

	How I would like to set things up is that any mail sent within the
local domain be sent directly and any thing else to be sent to the gateway.
If at all possible I would like to make use of our name server.

Here is the pertinent networking info:

host name:	zaphod (132.246.192.19)
domain name:	iar.nrc.ca
name server:	nrcnet0.nrc.ca (132.246.160.2)
gateway:	naegate.nrc.ca (132.246.192.1)


Currently I'm fooling around with the following configuration:

mmdftailor file:
================

MLNAME	"zaphod"
MLDOMAIN "iar.nrc.ca"
MLOCMACHINE ""
MSUPPORT "postmaster@zaphod.iar.nrc.ca"

; Table entries
MTBL	alias,		file="aliases",		show="Local Aliases"
MTBL	local,		file="local",		show="Local Host"
MTBL	smtp,		file="smtp",		show="SMTP Hosts"
MTBL	rootdomain,	file="rootdomain",	show="Root Domain"

ALIAS	table=alias, trusted

; Channel entries
MCHN	local, show="Local Delivery", que=local, tbl=local,
		pgm=local, mod=imm, ap=same
MCHN	list, show="List Processing", que=list, tbl=local,
		pgm=list, mod=reg
MCHN	smtp, show="SMTP/TCP", que=smtp, tbl=smtp
		pgm=smtp, mod=reg, ap=822

; Domain tables
MDMN	"root", dmn="", show="Root Domain", table=rootdomain

; Logging levels
MMSGLOG     level=FTR
MCHANLOG    level=FTR


rootdomain file:
================

u614ji		u614ji.iar.nrc.ca
convax		convax.iar.nrc.ca
com		naegate
edu		naegate
ca		naegate


local table:
============

zaphod.iar.nrc.ca	zaphod
zaphod.nrc.ca		zaphod
zaphod			zaphod

smtp table:
===========

naegate.nrc.ca		132.246.192.1
u614ji.iar.nrc.ca	132.246.192.17
convax.iar.nrc.ca	132.246.192.11


	With the above configuration files I have been able to send mail
locally and to u614ji (but not to u614ji.iar.nrc.ca). 

	As far as receiving mail I am using smtpd.4.3.c with the apropriate
line set in inetd.conf as follows:

smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/mmdf/chans/smtpd smtpd /usr/mmdf/chans/smtpsrvr smtp,local

	Judging from the messages in the log files submit doesn't like the
return address specification. Which all seems to me to point to a domain
configuration and or channel table specification.

	Is there someone who out there who could give me a few pointers
as to how to properly configure this beast!

	thouroughly confused!! (aka: Matthew Bastian)
