I've been trying for months to find a solution to this problem. I _think_ it's a sendmail problem, but forgive me if it isn't. :-) The situation is this: Site A has two NeXT's that are ethernet connected. The server is the mailhost and the second workstation is set up as a client. Mail works fine in both directions on this local network. Site B has a uucp connection successfully established with Site A. Here's where the weirdness starts. A user on the client workstation at site A can successfully send mail to Site B, but when mail is sent from B to A (but only to an account on the client machine) the mail gets hung up. If the mail is sent to someone with an account on the "main" machine, however, it is received fine. I wouldn't feel so bad if mail wouldn't pass in either direction between sites A & B, but what am I doing wrong to make only 1 out of the 6 possible connections not work? I haven't modified the client workstation's sendmail - just followed the advice of our NeXT SE and used the mail manager app to set up their configuration. So, based on these symptoms, is there any specific area in sendmail that is likely to be the cause of the non-receipt of mail at the client machine? Can the problem instead be on the server? Where should I start looking? Any suggestions appreciated! John Bartley john@wpa.com
