Hello there,
I am running SCO UNIX 3.2.2 with MMDF as provided by SCO. I believe
that I have all the tables configured correctly. I simply want to punt
all mail (except local, of course! :-) ) to my mail server (bgsuvax) using uucp.
The mail is getting punted as it should, EXCEPT for the address
that is contained in the rmail command. The headers in the actual mail
message are OK (I have looked at them in the uucp spool directory).
However, the command on the uucp job has the address re-written into an
idiotic Bang-ized RFC822 format:
If I send mail to "jmiller@andy.bgsu.edu" the job gets queued as:
bgsuvaxN2a99 08/06-00:56 S bgsuvax mmdf 281 D.wendy65e49fe
08/06-00:56 S bgsuvax mmdf rmail andy.bgsu.edu!jmiller
Obviously "andy.bgsu.edu!jmiller" is NOT what I intended. bgsuvax
handles "rmail abc@d.e.f" just fine, but doesn't like the bang-ized
format of "d.e.f!abc".
If I understand things correctly, the uucp channel program is doing this.
In my mmdftailor file, I have tried "ap=822" and "ap=same", trying
to get the channel to leave the address alone.
I do not have the sources to this program, otherwise I would try to change
things there. Should I look for MMDF sources and try to compile my own
uucp channel?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jim Miller
