Hi!

Some folks responded to my question regarding sendmail choking on
hostname, when I'm trying to send mail out through uucp (machine's only
connection to the 'net)

I figured out (mostly) how to deal with the .mc files, and I was using the
uucpproto.mc, and using THAT .cf file as my /etc/sendmail.cf file, but I
am still getting 'unrecognized host name' when I mail to
person@hostname.com.

I have had the lines

FEATURE(nodns)

and

FEATURE(nocanonify)

both in, and out, and permutations inbetween, with no change.

I even compiled sendmail with the #define for Name Binding turned off.

Still no workee.

please help! I can get mail but no sendee!!

thanks.
