I've been attempting to start handling mail for systems under mine via
smtp and I'm getting one glitch I can't seem to debug. Someone out there
should see the problem right away.
I've always just set all my mail to my smart host with no problems. Now
I need to be able to route mail to and for a system called 'wtad' which is
a novell system running Pegasus. There is a Charon gateway called 'cms'
which is the gateway for wtad.
If I send mail to user "joeb@wtad", the cms SMTP debug window shows a
connection from my system, then gets a RCPT for wtad!joeb@cms and promptly
rejects it. I would think it should say "cms!joeb@wtad" but I can't seem
to find where my system is switching the system names.
Here is my entry in the paths file:
cms.hauppaugeny.ncr.com cms!%s
wtad.hauppaugeny.ncr.com cms!wtad!%s
and my smtpinfo file:
cms via-smtp:cms!%s
I looked in the sendmail.cf file but it looks cryptic. I added a suggest
entry for a rule:
#R$*<@wtad.$D>$* $#tcp$@wtad.$D$:$1<@cms.$D>$2
Does anyone know where this error may be comming from?
Gracious thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
- JoeB
