Since rmail gives addresses in !-form (should it?), : all the uucp-mail gets lost -- berkley.edu is anaware of any aldan :-) Sendmail can be set up for domain-style addressing over uucp, but since the remote machine is sending it with a bang path, you need to change yours to handle it. Normally I wouldn't recommend hacking on the sendmail.cf file. But if you add the following line: Cwaldan.UUCP near the top of the file, it should do the trick. (Notice there's already a `Cwlocalhost' line in there; leave it there.) Don't change anything else. For future reference, get the sendmail config sources in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail??/cf and go over the README carefully. This will allow you to customize sendmail for your system. Good luck! -- Tom Rush tom@tarush.chattanooga.net
