Hi, I have donloaded the smail and mailx packages (smail_3.2.0.101-4.deb and mailx_8.1.1-9.deb) and tried to configure the mail system. At the end of the configuarion of smail, I was asked
Send a test message now ? (y/l/n) Then answer y or (l) produces smail failed 10/ (without any explanation !) Of course, no mail can be sent from and to this machine! In the confuguartion set up I have answered 1 (internet site) to the 1st question about mail delivery and none to the question about smart host. I have also chose to "Generate a line in /etc/inetd.conf" as the method starting smail. As to the first question, this machine is part of a network linked to the internet so the answer 1 would be appropriate, as to the question about smart host, if I don't answer none I must give the name of this spart hosts which I don't know. Is there anything wring with the above. Any way, I am lost. Can anybody help ? BTW, I can't see the file sendmail.cf which exits on avery other unix system. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
