My connection to the : smarthost will be via UUCP (ears, ears.islenet.com). I've tried the SITECONFIG : macro and corresponding file, yet all outbound mail from ears still ends up in : the intac spool directory, even mail to noire and islenet. Do I need a local : ruleset to do this? What am I missing? : Dan Dan, this is a little confusing. I gather that "ears" is your system, and islenet and noire are two UUCP neighbors, and that you are sending to a smarthost (name unknown to me) all mail that doesn't go to islenet or noire? Have I got this right? The magic happens in ruleset 0. You will need to put in rules calling the uucp mailer specifically for islenet and noire and then "punt" everything else to the smarthost. Use the sendmail address test mode, "sendmail -bt" that allows you to enter addresses and see where they go. This can save many gray hairs. Just do "sendmail -bt" and then enter 0 and the address. The "0" tells sendmail you just want to test ruleset 0. If this appears to work, You may find that the addresses are getting munged higher up in the rulesets into a form that ruleset 0 does not recognize. By playing around with "sendmail -bt" you can test other rulesets, like 3 ( a major player, usually) to see what it's doing to things. -- -Jim Durham
