Has anyone else had the problems I've had getting sendmail to do the right thing? My situation is that I have a stand-alone station which is part of a domain (mese.com) fed by a uucp link from my domain entry point (indigo.mese.com). The problems are numerous: namely: sendmail wants all uucp paths to contain a !. This includes the return paths (?). It took a lot of munging on the sendmail.cf file to get it to pass a From: xxx <name@drefla.mese.com> line. The bloomin mailhost.sendmail.cf file even expects all known machines with @ paths to exist on the ethernet! Several rule modifications later I finally got there but what a pain. Is there an easier way to do this (maybe with netinfo)? I can't believe that NeXT overlooked what may well be one of the most common configurations out there. What are your experiences with sendmail? Matt
