We were able to take the sendmail.cf file from our VAX 11/780 (running Ultrix 2.0) and use it on the DECStation 3100, with only changes to the name of the host itself. We tried to run Ultrix 3.0 on the VAX 11/780 using the identical sendmail.cf file that works under Ultrix 2.0, and it hangs in local mail, as well as in trying sendmail -bt. In both cases, the command does nothing visible, and has to be aborted with a ^C. If we use the generic 3.0 sendmail.cf, we can get local mail to work fine. The problem is that we have such a complicated collection of networks and special cases in the sendmail.cf, that we would like to carry it over to the new system. Has anyone come across this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions? All help is appreciated; thanks in advance. -- Morris Strongson INTERNET: mms@bnlux0.bnl.gov BITNET: mms@bnlux0.BITNET UUCP: ...philabs!sbcs!bnlux0!mms or bnlux0!mms@uunet.uu.net
