Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1993 02:14:02 GMT

On Monday I have to have a pop server using Eudora working for a
demo.  It reads port 110 ok, but writes to port 25.  AT&T's smtpd
does not seem to handshake properly with Eudora on a Mac, so I
tried sendmail.  That accepts a message from Eudora just fine, but
doesn't deliver it.  It lies around in /usr/ucblib/mqueue if I use
/bin/mail.  Using /usr/ucblib/binmail gets it out of the queue
but into a black hole.  

What I need is a) a sendmail.cf file that will work to deliver
local mail (good enough for the demo) or b) a working version of
the smtp daemon program.

At the present time, I have  machines on an ethernet backbone but
most mail goes out via uucp to a smartmailer. AT&T's own mailer
system handles domain-style addressing, so if I could just pass
everything sendmail gets off to it, I'd be in 7th heaven.  

BTW, AT&T's /bin/mail does not know of the -d option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've got 'til 5 pm on Monday

:-)

Sendmail version 6.8 has been installed on FTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU in
/ucb/sendmail/sendmail.6.8.tar.Z.

This version includes an implementation of MX piggybacking based on
ideas from John Gardiner Myers <jgm+@cmu.edu>.  Basically, this
notices when two different hosts have the same set of MX records,
and arranges to send the message in the same SMTP transaction.  It is
only lightly tested, so caveat emptor.

This version also includes postscript versions of the documentation,
as several people have requested.  It is therefore somewhat larger
than previous versions.

So, does that explain the following behavior?

mail to user@novell.math gives:

yet, the nameserver resolves the short name:

This may not be optimal for you -- but the new Berkeley version can
define a ".forward path".  For example:

	OJ$z/.forward.$j:$z/.forward

would first look for .forward.hostname, and if that was not found would
try .forward.  You would then put the invocation of the program in
.forward.daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov and "weisen@daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov" in
.forward.

I'm having a problem confguring Sendmail/IDA/phquery so that entries in my

unlmail.unl.edu, and crcnis1.unl.edu.

Mail to username@unl.edu is all routed to ph query without looking at the

The alias file isn't searched, so if the entry for username@unl.edu is in
the alias file rather than ph, mail is returned as user unknown.

How do I configure so that both alias file and ph are searched?

Mailertable and .m4 configuration files follow:

-------mailertable--------

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 21:47:02 GMT

I have what is probably a common problem.  I want to have a .forward
such as the following:

"|/xxx/yyy/zzz/bin/program"

so that "program" will work like ``deliver'' to deliver my mail.  Now, the 
problem is that my home directory is mounted by a hundred or so machines
of different architectures.  Right now I am doing something like this:

"|/xxx/yyy/zzz/bin/runprogram"
\weisen@daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov

where ``daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov'' is the machine that I want mail to go to and
runprogram is a /bin/sh script (hopefully guaranteed to run on all of the
architectures) that does something like:

if [ `hostname` != "daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov" ]
then
exit 0
fi
program


Now, this works o.k., but on daedalus the mail also gets delivered to
my system mailbox.  I guess what I need is a portable way to say
``bounce this mail to daedalus'' from the shell script so I can remove
the \weisen@daedalus line from my .forward and have the mail forwarded
to daedalus.  I need to run ``program'' on daedalus so it will have
access to daedalus' local disk.  I've tried just pipeing it into
sendmail, but this doesn't seem to preserve all of the headers.
Ideally I'd want something that would result in just another Received:
line and would leave the other headers the same.

Anyone have a suggestion?


Thanks,
Neil

Turns out I was wrong here.  A browse through alias.c revealed the
following code fragments:

389           * We can't get an exclusive lock on a file that isn't opened for
390           * writing on most systems - sigh!
391           */
392          if ((af = fopen(AliasFile, "r+")) == NULL)
393          {
394                  if (tTd(27, 1))
395                          printf("Can't open %s\n", AliasFile);

[...]

399          }
400  
401  #ifdef DBM
402          /* see if someone else is rebuilding the alias file already */
403          if (flock(fileno(af), LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB) < 0 &&
404              (errno == EWOULDBLOCK || errno == EAGAIN))

Now on SunOS, the man page for flock() says this:

Is there some reason the aliases file couldn't be locked using fcntl()

And they are the only ones that should appear in SMTP mail headers. RFC 1123
(Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Application and Support) has this to say:

      5.2.14  RFC-822 Date and Time Specification: RFC-822 Section 5

         The syntax for the date is hereby changed to:

            date = 1*2DIGIT month 2*4DIGIT

         All mail software SHOULD use 4-digit years in dates, to ease
         the transition to the next century.

         There is a strong trend towards the use of numeric timezone
         indicators, and implementations SHOULD use numeric timezones
         instead of timezone names.  However, all implementations MUST
         accept either notation.  If timezone names are used, they MUST
         be exactly as defined in RFC-822.

         The military time zones are specified incorrectly in RFC-822:
         they count the wrong way from UT (the signs are reversed).  As
         a result, military time zones in RFC-822 headers carry no
         information.

         Finally, note that there is a typo in the definition of "zone"
         in the syntax summary of appendix D; the correct definition
         occurs in Section 3 of RFC-822.

You need to put all of your clients in PSEUDONYMS, so that mail addressed
to client machines is recognized as local, and delivered locally.  Or
use a MAILERTABLE entry for each client delivering such mail to the
local mailer.

POP = Post Office Protocol

It runs over a TCP/IP net, as far as I know there are 2 versions of
POP, POP2 witch uses port 109 and POP3 witch uses port 110.
In both cases the unix box must run a server (sometimes called popper)
witch will process any requests that come from port 109 or 110 and
then talk with the unix mail system.

I have 2 RFC:

	rfc1081 - 17901 bytes (compress & uuencode)

If you wish I can mail them to you...

Hi 

I would like to set up a 'mailcluster' under IDA sendmail, so that
outbound mail has a unique mailname ( works fine when using MAILNAME ),
and having a mailserver, which delivers local mail. ( works fine with
MAILSERVER ).

My problem is a follows:

User 'aaa@fstgsg01.tu-graz.ac.at' mails to
'bbb@fm11hp01.tu-graz.ac.at'. His From header would look like
this 'aaa@oanstu-graz.ac.at', because MAILNAME has rewritten it.
'bbb@fm11hp01.tu-graz.ac.at' replies to 'aaa@oans.tu-graz.ac.at' and 
mail from 'bbb' ist sent to 'aaa@oans'. 'oans' is only a MX record,
which  points to the mailserver. The mailserver holds an alias file,
which delivers incomming mail. This already works. 

But I must have an alias entry for any user at any client, so that
incomming mail from the mailserver is delivered locally, otherwise there
would be an infinite loop. mailserver delivers to client, client looks
up the alias file, finds no entry, sends mail to mailserver, cause he
believes of local delivery, mailsver sends to client .....


Question: Is there an easier way, than to have a alias file on any
machine with alias entry for any user.

I would like to have one alias file on the server, and none or small on
all clients.

I disagree.  RFC 821 specifies the grammar of the time stamp line a
server must insert at the beginning of the mail data (4.1.1.DATA).  I
see no prohibition in RFC 821 against transmitting a message already
containing Recieved: headers that do not match the <time-stamp-line>
grammar.

I'm getting the following error about once or twice a day
on a fairly quiescent system (Sun IPX OS 4.1.3):

sendmail[84]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: get requests: accept: No children


Can anyone tell me what the problem is?  Is there a place/file
to look at for a collection of sendmail error messages?

Thanks in advance,
Tim
