We are (still) trying to get a working sendmail installation on System V Release 4. Our sendmail configuration file seems to test well, and we have sendmail running in the background. Locally originated and outbound mail work fine!! We seem to have some problems with rmail! When we replace /bin/rmail with the /usr/ucblib/rmail, all of our inbound uucp mail for local users is lost. The uucp control files X.xxxxx, etc look fine, but the messages just vanish, with no errors (that we know of). Inbound mail for other systems on our network is processed by sendmail and delivered?? Any ideas on how to correctly deliver the local mail would be appreciated!! If we use the original /bin/rmail, and tell the mailsurr file to route everything through sendmail, mail is delivered, but an extra From uucp header is added to the top of each message. The real from header follows, but is prepended with a > symbol (such as: >From bob@host.com). Why is this happening?? Any help would be a BIG help! Thanks for earlier responses and thanks in advance for new ideas, Sandy Bendremer sandyb@world.std.com
