On Monday I have to have a pop server using Eudora working for a
demo.  It reads port 110 ok, but writes to port 25.  AT&T's smtpd
does not seem to handshake properly with Eudora on a Mac, so I
tried sendmail.  That accepts a message from Eudora just fine, but
doesn't deliver it.  It lies around in /usr/ucblib/mqueue if I use
/bin/mail.  Using /usr/ucblib/binmail gets it out of the queue
but into a black hole.  

What I need is a) a sendmail.cf file that will work to deliver
local mail (good enough for the demo) or b) a working version of
the smtp daemon program.

At the present time, I have  machines on an ethernet backbone but
most mail goes out via uucp to a smartmailer. AT&T's own mailer
system handles domain-style addressing, so if I could just pass
everything sendmail gets off to it, I'd be in 7th heaven.  

BTW, AT&T's /bin/mail does not know of the -d option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've got 'til 5 pm on Monday

:-)
