Hi,
I have a friend who is struggling to install mailx on his
Sys V Unix system. He thinks he is having a problem with
his sendmail.cf file but isn't sure. I told him I would
try to ask the net.mail.guru's for some help for him.
His basic problem is he is able to send mail to addresses such
as:
user@ccc
but not:
user@ccc.xxx.yyy
Also he is not able to recieve any incoming mail from the outer
world with a full domain address. He thinks he can recieve incoming
mail from the outer world if it is of the form
user@bbb
but not if it is a full domain address: user@aaa.bbb.ccc
We are guessing that it is a problem with his sendmail.cf
not being able to parse a full address like user@aaa.bbb.ccc.
Does this sound familiar to anyone, or does anyone have
any other suggestions for him to look at ???
I will forward any e-mail replies to him, or you can
reply directly to him (different machine) at
kallis@ccc.nersc.gov
thanks !
jim reilly
