- This is probably an FAQ, and I am sure I read somewhere how to do this easily,
- but I thought I'd ask anyway ....
-
- I have an Internet style mailing setup with minimal mods to sendmail.cf and
- using the MX version of sendmail under SunOs 4.1.2.
-
- I don't have uucp set up, and whenever mail inadvertantly gets directed to
- a uucp style address I get the following sort of thing ...
-
- ----- Transcript of session follows -----
- Cannot exec '/usr/bin/uux' errno=13
- 554 site!name... Service unavailable
-
- This is not surprising, reading throught the rules in sendmail.cf.
-
- Now I gather that if I could make sendmail forward all such messages to a
- site that can do uucp stuff, eg. munnari.oz.au, by mapping the address to
- something like "site!name@uucp.munnari.oz.au" then I am set.
-
- I presume there is a "standard" way to do this with the sendmail.cf that is
- supplied by Sun ... I am loathe to go hacking at it myself in an uninformed
- fashion !
