I would wellcome any help you could give me a new comer to the world of
sendmail.
My problem is that we have a ethernet on which we have many differnet
machines including suns and micro-vaxes
On one machine (a vax) we run mmdf. We would like to arrange
for all the machines to send mail that they cannot resolve to this vax.
If the user says fred@xxy.ac.uk then we pass this to the vax ok
but if the user say fred@somewhere sendmail tries to send this to
a host called somewhere on our net (it fails).
In the comments to the ultrix gereric.mc 3.3 it appears that
we can define FS/etc/hosts and this looks as if this should spot that
"somewhere" is undefined and try our central machine but this is not the
case
What am I doing (or not doing) wrong?
