Hi all,

I would like to operate my PC w/ 386bsd + pk0.2.4
as a leaf site connected via modem and uucp to the
world (using a relay host to which all outside- 
mail should be sent).
uucp works (thanks to the new sio driver); i.e. I
can receive mails from my uucp relay. The reverse
isn't possible, sigh! I allways get the message
"Deferred: Host Lookup Table Failure" or so (don't
remember exactly) when I use mail -v user@uucp-relay
(mail -v uucp-relay!user gives the same results).

So, could any kind soul give me a clue?! I suspect
sendmail.cf to be the culprit (or my stupidity) - if
so I would appreciate a sendmail.cf file *proven*
under the described circumstances (I couldn't manage
to get one of the files in the 386bsd distribution
to work for me.
BTW could anybody give me a catch how the macros,
like DDmy.local.domain (the DD is meant), are de-
fined - I didn't found anything in tons of documen-
tation).

Bye,
Michael.
(only a little bit desperated :-)
