Message-ID: <1993Apr30.154102.444@ucthpx.uct.ac.za> Date: Fri, 30 Apr 93 15:41:02 GMT Organization: University of Cape Town X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4 Lines: 23 I'm running 386bsd release 0.1 w/ patchkit 0.2.3, and Smail 3.1.28. Recently, the hostname of this machine was changed from com9 to comgate. The 386bsd /etc/hostname file was changed and there is no problem with the os it seems. However, after changing the Smail config file, mail arriving here which is addressed to comgate or com9 is being passed back to the campus mail host (and expiring after 30 hops). What must be done to get email to recognize the change? NOTE: Replies please to crawford@eleceng.uct.ac.za. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Crawford KL7JDQ Phone: +27 21 650 3467 /------\ Dept.
