Reading sendmail manual (as distributed by Sun), it appears that path given to sendmail is parsed by rule 3, then 0, which determines which mailer to use. The To: address is then parsed by 3, and in the case of uucp mail, 23. The From: goes through 3, then 13. I decided that I didn't like the way my To: lines went out, so I started mucking with ruleset 5, called by 23. One of the (apparently) more important things I did was to remove the rule that generated u%h and add some that would generate u@h. I didn't touch ruleset 0, or any ruleset called by 0. While sendmail -bt says that ruleset 0 works correctly and ruleset 23 works the way I want, the value of $h!$u passed to the mailer is messed up. Specifically, if I enter a!b!c, the mailer gets a!c@b. Who's screwing it up? -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb@vicom.com
