Then again (as I'm sure you know, but perhaps not all readers do),
RFC1123 overrides the 24-character rule (as well as the subsequent one
in RFC952 that says that the first character must be an alpha):

      Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and
      SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters.

Our IBM mailers ("running IBM VM SMTP V2R1") also enforces the "no '_'"
rule, as well as the unchanged-from-952 "last character must not be
'-'" rule, and have no problems with leading digits - I haven't tried
what the maximum length allowed is, but it's certainly more than 63.

Seems those IBM guys really go by the letter of the RFCs - and I
certainly don't think there's anything wrong with that, although I
suspect most people are, like the original poster, unaware that '_'
isn't allowed - your list has plenty of evidence for that too...

Some sites will match on even more gecos constructions, such as
'paul.killey' 'p.killey' 'killey' or whatever.
If you 1) allow gecos matching, 2) don't want to put all possible
combinations in the aliases file, 3) don't want to bypass the defined
alias for the login name,
then sendmail has to do a new alias lookup after finduser() has come
up with a gecos match.

A second possibility to bypass an alias is to use a quoted address
such as "paul" or \paul
In my opinion, this should not be possible. If I have defined an
alias in the system aliases file, I always want to have the alias
honoured.

Both cases can be handled by a simple extra alias lookup in recipient()
after finduser() has found a password entry, and the login name from
the password entry is different from the name in the mail address.

Hi,
  A few days ago one of our mail users encountered the following problem:
suppose he has an alias command in his .mailrc of the form:
alias project-members recip1@domain1 recip2@domain2 recip3 recip4 .... recip8@domain8 recip9
Whe he send mail addressed to project-members after the alias is expanded
and his machine's sendmail connects to the mailhost he gets the following error
message:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

  ERROR:  domain8 recip9 not in UUCP routing tables


554 recip1@domain1 recip2@domain2 recip3 recip4 .... recip8@domain8 recip9... Service unavailable

Obviously for some mysterious reason sendmail considers the whole alias 
expansion an one-recipient address of the form:
(brackets are just for clarity)
[recip1@domain1 recip2@domain2 recip3 recip4 .... recip8]@[domain8 recip9]
							^^^
						the last "@" sign

I tried to test the error condition myself by using a similar alias in my 
.mailrc and sending mail from the same machine but I get no error (ie. message 
is delivered normally)! Could someone out there enlighten me giving some ideas 
in what causes this non-deterministic error(Which has preferance to
the specific user...)??

Greetings and thanks,
Costas.

Suppose my login id is paul, and i am aliased to paul@someotherhost.foo.edu.  the
gecos field for me is :paul killey:.  if someone mails to 'paul_killey' and not 'paul'
it will match on the passwd file entry but not do the alias look up.

at least, seems that way here.  finduser() is checked after alias(), and then
(if verbose) you will see 
paul_killey... sending to login name paul
paul_killey... Connecting to  (local)...
paul_killey... Sent

and the mail is local, and not sent to the alias.

double check and see what the messages that end up local have for a recipient's address.

I don't recommend this.  You can try HIDDENDOMAIN or HIDDENNET or MAILNAME
to control the domain name on outbound mail.  But don't use DEFAULT_DOMAIN.
The DEFAULT_DOMAIN is mainly for hosts who don't have access to a
nameserver, and must depend on an /etc/hosts lookup to qualify host
names.  Often this leaves local hostnames unqualified, so DEFAULT_DOMAIN
is appended in an attempt to provide a fully qualified name.

Glenn's right, but beware...there seems to be a problem with AIX 3.2 
handling the additional authentication method.  I was just about to
ship out a modem (and remote port) authentication scheme that Fred
Stearns (of Dickens Data) and I worked on.  It's been running on my
AIX 3.1 2007 level box for a year.  When I hooked it into 3.2, it 
failed.

Austin's Defect Support says PTF U407535 for APAR ix25638 should fix it.

I want my sendmail process to automatically route bitnet addresses to the

and forwarded to RELAY_HOST but doesn't. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Also, my RELAY_HOST, for some reason, when given a BITNET address, does not
consult the PATHTABLE at all, instead it tells me the host is unknown...the
PATHTABLE does have a .bitnet entry...

I'm not a config file jock, but have what I am sure is a simple question.  I am
setting up a spare SPARCstation as an external services node.  Addressing
information to map each user account to a service is stored in an appropriate
place.  

I would like to have service alias names for the node and a single .forward
file executed when mail gets to the machine.  Thus email to:
        joe@pager       Would send the email to Joe`s pager
        sue@fax         Would send the email to Sue's FAX machine
        pat@voice       Would do text-to-speech and to Pat's voice mail

You get the idea.  I need a central config file that sends {pager,fax,voice} to
the server node. [I can or may have to handle this thru host alias names].  But
I need mail which arrives at this node to run a .forward file which will do the
delivery.  Howzit done????

	When receiving mail via a uucp connection our mail software modifies 
the "Reply-To:" header on the message.  For example, the header 

	Reply-To: testuser@testhost.testdomain.test

may be modified to be:

	Reply-To: hornet!duke!testhost.testdomain.test!testuser

I checked RFC822 and it seems to indicate that the originator should be given 
the freedom to set the "Reply-To:" header to whatever it likes, though it 
doesn't explicitly say that the mailer is not allowed to modify it. 

	So, is it the case that the "Reply-To:" header is not supposed to be
changed?  Also, where might the header changes be configured, in the mailer 
specification in the sendmail.cf file, or in the sendmail source code itself?
	Note that our ethernet connections do not result in modified 
"Reply-To:" headers.

	Thanks for any help!

Summary: What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I have just installed IDA sendmail on my Suns (boy is it great!).
The only real problem/concern I have is the length of time it
take to build the aliases (either using 'sendmail  -bi' or
'newaliases').  On my Sun SparcStation it takes nearly 3 minutes
for 86 aliases.  Most of them are of the type:

firstname.lastname@matd.gatech.edu:accountname@matd.gatech.edu

(These are falling out of my xaliases file since I am doing
outbound rewriting too.)

The reason this bugs me is that I have noticed (mostly perception)
that local mail delivery is slower too.  Using the Sun sendmail
I could mail to myself and before I could type 'mail' again the
message would be there.  Now I see a 4-5 second delay minimum...

Any comments?  Opinions?  (Copies of the m4 file available at 
request).

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Some comments on 24 frames per second:
24 is the normal frame rate for film movies.
Another thought is that 25 fps is the PAL (most of Europe) broadcasting
standard.
Film movies at 24 and video at 30 fps are transferred from one to the other
via a method called 3-2 pulldown which corrects for the difference in 
frame rate between the two.

So you're saying that MHEG has nothing to do with multimedia mail? 
Seems strange to me.  You're putting an awfully narrow definition of
what goes on here.  Or at MHEG, since you seem to be saying that
their charter doesn't include mail, which I think is wrong.

Thanks for the referral to comp.multimedia, but I don't have access
to it.  There doesn't seem to be a Usenet list associated with it.

Contact your national ISO-affiliated body, e.g. ANSI."

I have no idea what those things mean, except for ISO and ANSI.  But
I'm looking for a contact name in the group, not at ANSI.
