At a guess your sendmail config is incorrect (You didn't by chance copy a linux sendmail.cf did you?). You need to setup this up by defining a file sendmail.mc and then 'compiling' it into a sendmail.cf file. (For more info see the source code for sendmail) My sendmail.mc looks like this:- include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`@(#)uucpproto.mc 8.3 (Berkeley) 8/21/93') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl MASQUERADE_AS(seeware.DIALix.oz.au)dnl <-- This sets your domain name for outgoing mail FEATURE(nodns)dnl FEATURE(notsticky)dnl MAILER(local)dnl <-- These next lines define what MAILER(smtp)dnl mailers you will install on your MAILER(uucp)dnl system, uucp is the one which will MAILER(usenet)dnl do uucp (you need local & smtp as well) define(`SMART_HOST', uucp-dom:melbourne) <-- This line says that any non-local mail will be sent to the smart UUCP host 'melbourne'. It also says that that particular host understands name@site style addressing (and not just the old !path style.) : I can't seem to get uucp to dial out at all. I'm lost, confused, and : in need of any help at all. What do you mean by this? Have you tried to manually tickle this by /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico -s name_of_your_uucp_host : Thanks in advance, No worries, mail me if you need more help. : Dan : dpb@magicnet.net -- +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | Mark Hannon,| FreeBSD - Free Unix for your PC| mark@seeware.DIALix.oz.au| | Melbourne, | PGP key available by fingering | epamha@epa.ericsson.se | | Australia | seeware@melbourne.DIALix.oz.au | |
