Sendmail/uucp problem Solved.

[Paul T. Root]

I had a problem with an RS/6000 mail when trying to send uucp mail. Another
machine on our network has modems but the rios wouldn't get it there 
properly. The solution is to define DR to the computer with the modems
and add the following six rules in rule set 3. Put them around the 
shown lines from the generic sendmail.cf file:


#
#  Add strong armed tactics to get uucp to mailhost and out.
#  proot (16Aug90)
#
R$-!$-                  @$R:$1!$2                       1 hop past mailhost
R$-.$+!$+!$-            @$R:$1!$3!$4                    2 hop past mailhost
R$-.$+!$-               @$R:$1!$3                       1 hop past mailhost
R$-!$+!$-               @$R:$1!$2!$3                    2 hops past mailhost


#  ====> NOTE <====                           Start generic sendmail.cf

	.                                 10 or so lines deleted
	.
#  Change a!b at c to @c:a!b
#R$-!$-@$+              @$3:$1!$2             End of generic sendmail lines

#  This doesn't quite do it right. Need to add longer route and dump
#  the domain off the first uucp machine. proot 16Aug90
#  So its change a!...!b at c to @c:a!...!b
R$-!$+@$+               @$3:$1!$2                       move @host to front
R$-.$+!$+@$+            @$4:$1!$3                       remove domain



I hope this helps anyone in need.

And I'd like to thank all of the IBM guys who helped me look into this
problem. 


Paul.
