The problems fall into two categories (I think). The first is summarized by a sample error mailing to our uucp user: From uucp Tue Feb 5 20:05:29 1985 Received: by cybvax0.UUCP (4.12/1.0) id AA00492; Tue, 5 Feb 85 20:05:22 est Date: Tue, 5 Feb 85 20:05:22 est From: cci-bdc (uucp Larry Deluca) Message-Id: <8502060105.AA00492@cybvax0.UUCP> To: uucp Status: R file /usr/spool/uucp/D.cybvax0B1s52 on cybvax0 can't access Is this due to the cryptic message in the 4.2 Makefile for uucp that the directories in the /usr/spool/uucp directory (C., D.siteX, D.site, D., X., TM.) should be in a specific order (I expect that this is INODE order?)?? Can anyone verify before I go to the trouble of shutting down our uucp to reorder the inodes? Is there another reason for it? Site cci-bdc is supposed to be a 4.2BSD site (we are 4.2BSD)? The second problem is incorrect sendmail handling of messages whose 'To:' line has arpa domain specifications on it, for example: To: sitex!sitey!mit-eddie!cybvax0!cci-bdc!larry%blue@MIT-RED.ARPA Our sendmail (almost completely stock) will NOT send this to cci-bdc... it just seems to barf on it. Before I dive into the deep waters of sendmail, is there anyone out there that can offer some advice? A quick fix? I specifically don't want to break any standards which I may not know about! Please respond by mail (I hope that much makes it through). Doug Robinson Jobs don't kill programmers... programmers kill jobs!
