- As you can see from the above 'From' line, my posts are getting
- reported as coming from the mainframe instead of from my SGI.
-
- I was told by the system operator to pull a new sendmail file called
- sendmail-sgi.cf off the mainframe and to use it instead.
-
- Well i tried two things. Renamed the file /usr/lib/sendmail.cf
- /usr/lib/sendmail.cf.old and renamed the sendmail-sgi.cf to sendmail.cf.
-
- I logged out and then back in. Nothing had changed.
-
- I then did the following reccomended by the sysop:
-
- Logged in as root.
- at the prompt typed /usr/lib/sendmail -bz
-
- ps -ef (to get the process number of sendmail (119))
-
- kill 119
-
- /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q1h
- Logged out and in.
- Again nothing happened except that sendmail now has a PID of 1126.
-
- should I have been typing sendmail.cf?
- I noticed the old sendmail was sendmail -bd -q15m when the ps -ef command
- was used.
-
- What should I be doing here? i have an Iris 4D25 with 3.3.1.
-
- Please either post or answer to my sig address!
