YES, we do definitely have the Name Resolver working and now I DO have
(or soon will) messages working correctly!
Here's the problem:
In the file ${ANDREWDIR}/overhead/mail/lib/valhost.c, at the top after
the #include block, I found
#define dn_SKIPNAME
At this point, I don't know if this line was with the original
distribution or not. The effect of this #define was to totally ignore
the call to dn_skipname() which is required for resolving names.
Here's the solution:
I commented that line out and added these two lines:
#undef dn_SKIPNAME
#undef CQUERYM
which basically tells valhost.c that the dn_skipname() routine IS
defined on our system and use it!
I now get much better results from valhost.test:
% valhost.test
Test your favorite destination mail domain names. One at a time, please.
domain: transarc.com
Input: ``transarc.com''; output: ``transarc.com'' (good)
domain: ecs.umass.edu
Input: ``ecs.umass.edu''; output: ``ecs.umass.edu'' (good)
Thanks, Craig, for sticking this one through with me and helping me out!
