BTW, the mailer error ocurred on a VAX running BSD4.3. In my opinion the "universal" mail support on Un*x systems is a pile of dung, no matter which breed of Un*x it is. I sincerely hope someone will flame me for this statement and prove there's GOOD mail support somewhere.] In article <159@tic.UUCP> you write: >Does anyone know why HP-UX mail (equiv SVR2 mail, mailx) blows up when asked >to reply to mail with an Internet (@) From: line ? > >It really blows up, Segmentation Fault (core dumped)! I don't have that problem, although it's easy to imagine it could occur. My best guess is there's probably something that needs a change in your sendmail.cf file. I'm using a version that I hacked somewhat blindly -- sendmail's way of specifying address rewriting rules is atrocious. One possibility is the mailer invocation. The sendmail.cf that came with our systems (I believe from HPLabs, at least a year ago) caused sendmail to invoke mail with a switch that mail didn't honor. If possible, get in touch with Peter Marvit (Marvit@hplabs.hp.com). He seems to be more adept with mail problems than anyone else on HP systems. --------------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@vaxa.isi.edu
