[Jim Diamond <DIAMOND at DREA-XX.ARPA>: sendmail]

[Jim Diamond]

I sent out the following message a few weeks ago.  Then our system
decided to take a week or ten days off, so I'm not certain whether
or not some helpful messages which came my way got returned.
I did get one reply (from Andrew Myers (thanks)) but I couldn't
get the file he recommended.  If anyone else out there can be of
assistance, I would be most grateful.

-----------------------------------------

We have a 3130 which is connected to a local area network (speaking TCP/IP).
One of the systems on the LAN is an arpanet gateway.  I wanted to get
sendmail set up to communicate with the rest of the world.

I tried reading the S.G. documentation.  It talked about a couple
of files in a directory which didn't even come with our system.
Thus that was little use.

I tried modifying the copy of the sendmail.cf file which came with
the system, according to the instructions contained therein.
That didn't help either.  Depending on how I set it up, I either
get "user unknown" or "host unknown" type messages.

Since we have ftp and telnet working well, I assume that the problem
is most likely with my sendmail.cf file and not elsewhere.

Before I spend possibly outrageous amounts of time becoming a sendmail
expert, is there anyone out there who can either
1) enlighten me with a few sentences, or
2) send me a working sendmail.cf for a similar system.

Thanks.
