If you're using UUCP, put a SMART_HOST like that: define(`SMART_HOST', `uucp-dom:your_uucp_provider')dnl That is, anything that is not in the mailertable (you want to use it if you have multiple UUCP connections) and is not local will be sent to the smart host. > Another thing is, I can not make it parse mymachine!user > properly -- the _local_ mailer is called with the full > `mymachine!user' instead of just `user', as happens if > the address is in form of user@mymachine. Local mailer > (procmail or mail.local failes, and mail bounces). Don't use bang-path addresses. "!" are dead. The rmail FreeBSD is using understand domain addresses for UUCP. I can send you a .mc for an UUCP connected machine if you want (I am in that situation...). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=-=- FreeBSD 2.x FAQ maintainer -=-=- roberto@freebsd.org -=-=-=-=-=- Support The Free UNIX Systems !
