Hi DU Admins
My question was about getting the MH send command to work
with sendmail 8.9.1's anti-relaying features.
The solution was to install the send command from the nmh
distribution. This works from the command line, with dxmail
and with exmh.
Thanks to Jean-Pol Guillement and especially to Tom Smith
for their replies. Tom's final suggestion was to modify
sendmail.cf (check_mail specifically) to allow unqualified
local senders.
This would probably have worked but I didn't test it.
I decided that since the problem was with MH not sendmail
I should try to get the MH send command to work properly
rather than mess about with the sendmail configuration.
So I downloaded nmh from
ftp://ftp.math.gatech.edu/pub/nmh/
and installed the nmh send command in place of the one that
came with DU 4.0C.
Here's the original question:
After I installed sendmail 8.9.1 all MH based mailers including
dxmail stopped sending mail. The error message is:
post: problem initializing server; [RPLY] 553 <user>... Domain name required
send: message not delivered to anyone
No doubt I could get this to work by configuring sendmail to
accept unqualified senders but I don't want to do that for
security reasons.
All other mailers work (mailx, pine, dtmail, netscape) it's only
the MH based mailers that have this problem.
I read the fine man page for MH, send and mh_profile but I couldn't
find a way to force it to add the domain to the sender's address.
Anyone know how to do this? Any other suggestions as to how
I can get this to work?
