FAQ: sendmail and mail

[Jamie Gulden]

    Speaking of frequently asked questions...

    Why is the SGI mail system so much harder to set up then others? I
have spent several days trying to get the sendmail.cf to work correctly
and I finally just borrowed one from a sun with a few modifications. It
now can come up with the correct machine name and mechanism but, I am
now having problems getting it to send and receive mail.

    I am running a 4D/25 with ethernet and I don't care about UUCP.  The
SGI only has to deliver mail to itself otherwise it should make sure
the machine name includes the domain (add local domain if none) and
send it off to our mail server.  If anyone has a working sendmail.cf
could they please email it to me, I would be very greatfull.

Thanks, Jamie
