I tried to get Keesh to the point where I could send mail to
"root@quiche-lorraine". Not that I really want to send lots of email
to root, but I want to know what's in the process of making local
email work.
Specifics: keesh is running sendmail from /usr/src/athena/sendmail
(which I think is _not_ the newest version of sendmail), and has never
had smail installed.
First, I noticed "telnet keesh smtp" was getting "connection closed"
immediately. So I took "smptd" out of /etc/inetd.conf since we don't
have smptd.
Then "telnet keesh smtp" was getting "connection refused" so I ran
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd.
Then "telnet keesh smtp" connected so I tried to send mail to
"root@keesh" and I noticed a sendmail zombie left running on Keesh.
So I recompiled sendmail with -D_USE_BSD_SIGNAL.
Then sending mail to "root@keesh" seemed to work, except that the mail
never got delivered (never showed up in /usr/spool/mail)... This is
the current state. Anybody want to debug this further?
Have a nice day.
