It is actually in /usr/src/gnu/libexec/uucp. >>If you get it working, I am sure that the net would appreciate any comments you >>have on the configuration and policy.h settings. > >I'll dig these up and send them along shortly. These are values that I have in my policy.h: (note that some parameters come as N parts where you set all but one of them to 0 -- I only listed the macro that gets set to 1.) #define USE_STDIO 1 #define HAVE_POSIX_TERMIOS 1 #define HAVE_UNBLOCKED_WRITES 1 #define SINGLE_WRITE 100 #define TIMES_TICK 100 #define LOCKDIR "/var/spool/lock" #define HAVE_BNU_LOCKFILES 1 #define HAVE_INTERNET_MAIL 1 Note: I *do* have domain based mail addressing. You might not. #define DEBUG 2 #define HAVE_TAYLOR_CONFIG 1 #define SPOOLDIR_TAYLOR 1 #define HAVE_TAYLOR_LOGGING 1 #define CLOSE_LOGFILES 0 #define ALLOW_SH_EXECUTION 0 #define ALLOW_FILENAME_ARGUMENTS 0 This is not everything in the whole file, but it lists all the ones I thought important enough to have to tell you, and then some. :) >>I expect that sendmail will be a larger problem then UUCP. > >Go into the sendmail sources and make the config files. The UUCP-style >addressing works just fine if you expect to say "a!b!c!d". I found that this doesn't look like I remembered it. Then I remembered that I never configured my 0.9 machine for mail -- I configured my ** 0.8 ** machine for mail and then kept the config file when I upgraded. I'm not sure which config file to recommend, but you can probably make either "uucpproto" or "tcpproto" work for you. I configured a machine with direct internet connections recently. I used tcpproto, but need to change the "M" line for local delivery to look like this: Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=mail -r $g -d $u It came with "P=/bin/mail" which is wrong for Netbsd. Anyway, to get a config file, go to /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf and do "make". Copy one of the config files to /etc/sendmail.cf, tweaking the "Mlocal". Kill and restart sendmail before you expect it to work. :) Have fun. Mark S.
