We currently have DU 3.2c with Sendmail v 5.65v3.2c. If we were to
upgrade
to the latest Sendmail version, are there scripts similar to mailsetup
that will
configure it, or will the entire configuration file have to be created
by hand?
We have been trying to use an NT as a hub for our alpha system. The NT
doesn't
like forwarding the mail it gets from the alpha. Our PC's have no
problem
sending mail out to the internet using the smtp of the NT. I have tried
using
the -v option, everything looks ok, the NT says it's sending the mail.

Both the alpha & the NT are on the same subnet, everyting works fine if
the domain is _at_slackinc.com, but when I want to send
outside of our network, I get the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
<error received if I attempt to email someone from the alpha>
person_at_somewhere.com on 10/17/97 9:50:14 AM
Unable to deliver the message due to a communications

The recipient name is not recognized
MSEXCH:IMS:SLACK:Monaco:WWW2 3550 (000B0981) 550
<someone_at_alpha>... Addressee unknown
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there anyway to track down that "communications failure" further?
What would be the difference between
an unknown recipient & addressee unknown? It always says unknown
recipient even when the email address
is a valid one.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm only on the first
couple chapters
of SENDMAIL (O'Rielly) book. One thing I did notice, in the book, they
mention the
use of Mhub, whereas in my alpha.cf/sendmail.cf Msmtpr is used? Is this
a difference
between the old & new sendmail? Could this be my problem of giving a bad
recipient?
Too many questions, so little time.
Thanx
