First, many thanks to those who responded on my previous dumb question: indeed the C compiler for version 4 was packaged on a seperate tape (whcih has been misplaced :-( ) and the inst program graciously deleted the old version. Now I have an equally naiive question, but one that has gained me a lot of blank stares and well-wishes from non-IRIX sys-admins. In moving to 4.0.5, the sendmail.cf file has changed structure dramatically. For most installations, this may not be much of a problem, but here in a large university, domain organization is not so friendly. I managed to sort through enough to restore our outgoing mail and the plain vanilla incoming addresses, but one problem remains that is causing headaches for our feeder sites: virtual.rose.utoronto.ca is also (apparently often) referred to as virtual.rose.toronto.edu or virtual.toronto.edu --- in its present state, my sendmail.cf is rejecting mail with those addresses. I know the rules to add (or I hope the old rules will still work) but the question is where to add them. How does one go about tracing sendmail's ability to receive these alternate addresses? Any comments, suggestions, yes and even just well-wishes :-) gratefully accepted! Solutions earn eternal gratitude from my feeder sites :-) -- Gary Lawrence Murphy ---------------- garym@virtual.rose.utoronto.ca University of Toronto, Industrial Eng Dept fax: (416) 971-1373 4 Taddle Creek Rd, Toronto, Ont M5S 1A4 voice: (416) 978-3776 The true destination is always just here, now ----------------------
