Folks,

  After installing Ultrix 4.3 on my machines, I have found that
sendmail no longer works like it did under Ultrix 3.1.  In fact, it
doesn't work for any version of Ultrix 4.2 or higher.  Here's the
relevant portion of our /etc/sendmail.cf:

# The $w CLASS can be used to define "nicknames" for the local host.
# These are alternate names that other systems may use to direct mail
# to the local host. If this feature is used, the class should contain
# the set of all names by which this host is known by. This feature
# might normally be used when the local host name is revised but it is
# not feasable to notify all other hosts of the new name.
# Additionally, it may be that the local host is known by one name on
# the internet and another name on additional networks to which this
# host is connected. 
#

Fw/etc/hostmx

where /etc/hostmx is a file containing the name of the various
machines which have mx records pointing to our mailer.  Correct
behavior is for the mailer to recognize that it is to accept mail for
all the hosts listed in /etc/hostmx.

  Now under Ultrix 3.1  (Sendmail5.57/Ultrix2.4-C), this works fine.
But with the sendmail 5.65/Ultrix3.0-C version it doesn't work.  So, I
grabbed a copy of the non-IDA sendmail sources from uunet and compiled
them -- guess what!  They don't work either.  Anybody got a clue as to
why they don't work?
