1. We have installed the client.cf file listed on page 727 of the
O'Reilly sendmail book on:
osf1.3
hp-ux
sunos4.x
irix4.x
and it works great.
2. The last platform is the sco open desktop 3.2r4.2. On that
platform addresses such as user@host, user@host.gov, etc. get rewritten
as
user@host.hitc.com.hitc.com, user@host.gov.hitc.com, etc. (an extra
hitc.com is added). If I change the /etc/resolv.conf to define that
host in a non-existent domain it works. For example,
domain hitc.gov
nameserver {ip}
.
3. The idea is we would like all of the Unix platforms to send mail
over to our mail hub. So far this has worked very well. I have phoned
SCO and they are still trying to figure it out. Maybe we should use
mmdf on the SCO's, but I would like to try and use the same agent on
all platforms.
4. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't seem to
matter what changes I make to the client.cf file?
Thanks in advance.
