Catch Domain mail and forward to UUCP queue
Sylvain Martin
UUCP for pickup every hour by a dial-up computer, but I can't get
it to work. I'm using the sendmail and uucp provided by Solaris 2.4.
Here's what I tried.
I made a rule which would take us...@cslmtl.com and translate it to
user%csl....@accent.net. In test mode, sendmail does this perfectly,
but when in Daemon mode, it returns and says that the user is not
found.
Seems it's aliasing cslmtl.com to accent.net. What could I do fix this
and get
it working? Would taylor UUCP do this?
Thanks for any help

I've done this with sendmail 8.6.12 and taylor uucp 1.05. It's
actually fairly easy. You obviously need support for uucp in your
sendmail, but additionally, you'll want to configure in the mailertable
option, and build a mailertable to translate the domain name over to uucp
mail properly. Here's how I did it:
FEATURE(mailertable, dbm /etc/mailertable)dnl
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(uucp)dnl
then edit /etc/mailertable and put lines like this:
internet.domain.com uucp-dom:uucp-system-name
makemap dbm /etc/mailertable </etc/mailertable
This of course assumes that sendmail is running on the computer that has
the dialin for uucp, and that an MX record exists pointing to this host.
You might try putting lines like:
internet.domain.com uucp-dom:uucp-system-name!internet-connected-host
I'm not sure on the second idea, I do know that the first will work.

You need an explicit rule for the domain cslmt.com, in ruleset *zero*:
R$*<@$*cslmt.com> $#uucp $@csl $: $1<@$2 cslmt.com>
Ruleset 0 decides what mailer to pass the message to as the next hop.
The rule line above, inserted at the start of ruleset zero, says:
for any address in the domain cslmt.com, use mailer uucp, to the host
csl (which I assume from your use of csl.UUCP is the uucp name of the
next hop), and pass the recipient name as written.
Note that it will rewrite the sender and recipient addresses in the
uux command line, as bang-path addresses.

As this is a sendmail config issue, you don't have to switch to taylor
uucp to fix this. You may, however, want to switch for performance or
other reasons.
