Can someone explain what I've done wrong?...

I've been using uucp for email on our RS/6000 and recently received a uucp
connection to PSINet. I configured my sendmail.cf file with instructions 
PSI gave me. When I send mail addressed as "clay.irving@execnet.com" I 
receive the following message from the mailer daemon.

We seem to have a problem with our sendmail configuration, in that if a
message is sent from a user sendmail tries to resolve the fullname by using
all the full names which contain the username. For example, suppose we have
passwd entries as follows:

foobar:*:nn:nn:foobar saunders:/users/foobar:/bin/csh
eric:*:nn:nn:eric afoojones:/users/eric:/bin/ksh
foo:*:nn:nn:foo smith/users/foo:/bin/ksh

(In our case, of course, all the users have passwords and different uids).
Mail sent from foo will appear as

From: foo (foobar saunders


BAD MSG:
eric afoojones
oo smith)

Is there some way to fix this so that it will appear as 
From: foo (foo smith).

[BTW we're running whatever version of sendmail is supplied with SunOS 4.1.1]

Regards,


Chris

An easy way to send only the headers of bounced mail to the
postmaster, not involving any additional filters, is to
not use the 'OPpostmaster' option in sendmail.cf, and add
the following to the very end of savemail() in savemail.c

	q = (ADDRESS *) NULL;
	sendtolist("postmaster", (ADDRESS *) NULL, &q);
	(void) returntosender("Delivery failure", q, FALSE);

This will generate a separate message to the recipient given
as the first parameter of sendtolist(). The FALSE parameter
of returntosender() causes the body of the bounced message
to be suppressed.

Does anyone know why this is happening?  This happens regardless if I am

BTW, Elm 2.3 seems to operate fine even with the error message.

In the doc directory along with the stuff that needs tmac.n,
in fact, the makefile does not say -mn for that reason,
but implicitly calls out tmac.n, as a normal file.

I'm having trouble with the length of the index list under x-windows.
It seems that elm only wants to show me 15 messages even though I have
more.  I have checked my environment and the term is set (I think)
correctly.  The wierd thing is that when starting up, the message
counting line appears around line 23, but when it is finished, the
"Command:" prompt appears at the bottom of the window, yet it only displays
15 messages.  If anyone has any idea, please reply by mail to

Hello,

after having installed smail 3.1.27 (upgraded from 3.1.24)
I am observing smail dumping core on mail delivery only - and only -
if elm is used as a mailer front end.

Configuration:  Sunos 4.1.1B, cc -O or cc, smail sun_os4.1 configuration 
     
Last function called before core dump:  unlock_message()
As the problem does noct happen, if compiled with -g, I cannot give any line number.

I am suspecting some file locking stuff (between smail and elm) causing this behaviour.
So -- if someone with a similar configuration (smail 3.1.27, Elm 2.3 PL11, Sparcstation, Sunos 4.1.1 could check this also?

Joachim

Hi! netters:
   
           I am a new user on OpenWindow 3.. I just installed elm 2.3pl11 on this SUN openwindow and it looks
   fine in the compilation process..
           But when I run elm, it shows some errors on the screen.. First I can not see the arrows which 
   indicate the current mail.. Second I can not move up and down to choose mail... I think the problem is 
   between the openwindow and the elm.. Since I can run elm well under a cxterm of this openwindow system..
           Is there anyone who has experience of this.. Any comment is welcomed.. Thanx  in advance.

Subject: saving to folders by nickname
Date: 7 Sep 92 18:35:40 GMT
Organization: Universite de Montreal

I was wondering if there is a way to make it so the default folder to save
a piece of mail to is a folder with the name of the alias of the person.
This would be useful in the case of people who don't use their real name,
e.g. robert@xxx goes by Bob or someone with one of those annoying accounts
named with random characters. If you use the nickname 'bob' to send mail
to this person it would make sense that you also have his mail saved to a
folder with that name by default. If an address has multiple nicknames then
the first one would be used.

I haven't found anything in the documentation on this and if the FAQ has
anything on this I wouldn't know since it hasn't appeared in over
2 weeks (the length of time I have looked at postings here).

[Feels sort of funny posting a message like that after returning from a
Renaisance Festival :-) ]

Anyway, while looking for alternate mail interfaces which could be used
by short-time users who are not computer literate, I stumbled on the
message that appeared in comp.unix.ultrix that referenced "pine".  This
afternoon, I found the time to ftp the sources from ftp.cac.washington.edu
and compile it.  After playing with it (and I will not review it here),
I will say that the MIME capability, which allows the send to attach
non-ascii files, and the receiver to seperate that file from the message
or, in the case of an image, view it, would be a very welcome addition
to the new, rumored release of elm.

Not sure (at this point) if I would use pine for my "users who are just
passing though on their way to Australia", but the pico editor, used as
the message composer by pine, seems like a good alternative to vi as
the message "composer".

2.3 is time zone illeterate, 2.4 is time zone aware, if the date line is in
RFC-822 format.

If the set of names is small, it seems to me that Unix links would solve
the problem: give one folder muultiple names.  A bit of a hack, but what the
heck ...

Subject: A few queries about Elm 2.3
Organization: Cognos Incorporated, Ottawa CANADA
Date: Sun, 6 Sep 1992 20:54:04 GMT

I have just finished installing Elm2.3PL11 and a few simple questions
I have not found answers to in the docs:

1)  I would like know what positional parameters other than "%s" are
    allowed as part of the attribution string variable.  rn documents
    these rather nicely, where do I look for elm (I suspect this to
    be the responsibility of the MUA).  Also can I use these in the
    prefix string variable.

2)  I want to define my own elmheaders file, but do not have a list
    of the relevent RFC's as of Sept. 1992 on what is "kosher".  Any
    pointers?

Thanks

Max
