Has anybody else seen this problem? We run Sendmail 1.9 under SunOs 4.0, with a sendmail.cf that is supposed to route most external mail to an X.400 mailer called `ean'. Here is the mailer specification: Mean, P=/usr/local/lib/ean/mailer, F=fmnDFMS, S=17, R=17, A=mailer -d $u When I attempt to mail to `user@host.arpa', the `ean' mailer is invoked with the arguments: `mailer -f ... -d user@host.arpa@ccu.umanitoba.ca', which is an invalid recipient address. The `ccu.umanitoba.ca' comes from our hostname in /etc/hosts, which is: 130.179.16.8 ccu.umanitoba.ca ccu loghost mailhost It is nowhere defined in sendmail.cf. Why is this happening? In address test mode, I get: rewrite: ruleset 0 returns: $# "ean" $@ "ccu" $: "user" "@" "host" "." "arpa" Rulesets 17 and 4 act normally and return `user@host.arpa'. -Gary Mills- -University of Manitoba- -Winnipeg-
