Since you've got a stale sendmail.cf file. Not the one that ships with the system. There's no utility called ``deliver'' on the system, and there's no need for it. The default sendmail configuration is not really suitable for a UUCP setup. I'm using the following file (call it /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/uriah.mc if you want): ==================================================================== include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`$Id: uriah.mc,v 1.8 1995/09/24 07:53:20 j Exp $') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl FEATURE(nodns)dnl FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl FEATURE(mailertable)dnl define(`confMIME_FORMAT_ERRORS', `False') define(`confMESSAGE_TIMEOUT', `7d/3d') define(`UUCP_RELAY', sax.sax.de) MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(uucp)dnl Op noreceipts Cw uriah uriah.sax.de Cw heep.sax.de Cw jette jette.sax.de Cw uriah.UUCP ==================================================================== This file can be compiled into `uriah.cf' which is then to be installed as /etc/sendmail.cf by simply typing ``make uriah.cf'' in the source directory. You notice the FEATURE(mailertable) above, this is how my /etc/mailertable looks like (stripped down for brevity): ==================================================================== heep.sax.de esmtp:%1 interface-business.de uucp-dom:if-bus interface-business.de uucp-dom:if-bus sax.UUCP uucp-dom:sax if-bus.UUCP uucp-dom:if-bus uucp-dom:sax ==================================================================== The last entry is the default UUCP gateway for all outgoing mail, the remainder are special cases that handle known UUCP neighbours and the local ethernet. This file needs to be compiled into a DBM file using the command: makemap hash /etc/mailertable.db < /etc/mailertable If you don't have a full source installation, you can find the sendmail config sources in the file /cdrom/dists/src/ssmail.aa. This is a plain gzip'ed tar file containing just the sendmail config stuff. > I can't seem to get uucp to dial out at all. I'm lost, confused, and > in need of any help at all. Well, you need to tell us what you've already setup regarding your UUCP. Does uuname(1) list your neighbours? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
