An email/sendmail problem: Any user of group "other" on my network gets the following bounced mail message when trying to send email. Here is a sample of the bounce: Date: Mon, 14 Dec 92 10:56:56 -0800 From: Mailer-Agent (NeXT Mail Agent) Subject: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 255 To: djones ----- Transcript of session follows ----- can't get working directory; will try to continue uux failed. code -1 554 <francisr@indiana.edu>... 554 unknown mailer error 255 ----- Unsent message follows ----- Return-Path: <djones> Received: from front1 by hsd.com (NX5.67c/NeXT-2.0_HSD) id AA00992; Mon, 14 Dec 92 10:56:56 -0800 From: djones (Danielle C.

This problem seemed to appear after making a slight modification to the sendmail.cf config file. I wanted jobs to be queued so in the uucp mailer I added the -r option to the uux command. I don't see any direct correlation. Perhaps a file permission problem. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin Rarick HSD Microcomputer US, Inc.
