I am having trouble with our sendmail. (All of it seems like witchcraft to me.) How do I direct output to a file? I tried in sendmail/aliases sysadmin: /Users/ivo/Mailboxes/sysadmin.mbox/mbox loaded it (newaliases), and tried mailing to sysadmin. This worked fine locally, but when someone from another machine tries to mail to sysadmin@next.agsm.ucla.edu I get a file creation error: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 /Users/ivo/Mailboxes/NeXT_Managers.mbox/mbox... 550 Can't create output ----- Unsent message follows ----- Return-Path: <iwelch@AGSM.UCLA.EDU> Received: from agsm.ucla.edu by next.agsm.ucla.edu (NX5.67c/NeXT-1.0(KJW-19Apr90)) id AA01368; Fri, 13 Nov 92 11:05:47 -0800 Received: by agsm.ucla.edu (5.65a/IDA-1.2.8) id AA02042; Fri, 13 Nov 92 11:05:48 -0800 /ivo PS: I would rather not install a new system (like IDA), because I had tried this once, which screwed up all mail-delivery completely, and because I didn't know the internal mechanisms of mail-delivery, then went back spending a few hours reinstating the old sendmail system. (It was *NOT* plug-and-play, and there was no easy uninstall.)
