<title>SMTP with UUCP</title>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>The <application>sendmail</application> configuration
|
|
||||||
that ships with FreeBSD is designed for sites that connect
|
|
||||||
directly to the Internet. Sites that wish to exchange their
|
|
||||||
mail via UUCP must install another
|
|
||||||
<application>sendmail</application> configuration file.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>Tweaking <filename>/etc/mail/sendmail.cf</filename> manually
|
|
||||||
is an advanced topic. <application>sendmail</application>
|
|
||||||
version 8 generates config files via &man.m4.1; preprocessing,
|
|
||||||
where the actual configuration occurs on a higher abstraction
|
|
||||||
level. The &man.m4.1; configuration files can be found under
|
|
||||||
<filename>/usr/share/sendmail/cf</filename>. The file
|
|
||||||
<filename>README</filename> in the <filename>cf</filename>
|
|
||||||
directory can serve as a basic introduction to &man.m4.1;
|
|
||||||
configuration.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>The best way to support UUCP delivery is to use the
|
|
||||||
<literal>mailertable</literal> feature. This creates a database
|
|
||||||
that <application>sendmail</application> can use to make
|
|
||||||
routing decisions.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>First, you have to create your <filename>.mc</filename>
|
|
||||||
file. The directory
|
|
||||||
<filename>/usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf</filename> contains a
|
|
||||||
few examples. Assuming you have named your file
|
|
||||||
<filename>foo.mc</filename>, all you need to do in order to
|
|
||||||
convert it into a valid <filename>sendmail.cf</filename>
|
|
||||||
is:</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /etc/mail</userinput>
|
|
||||||
&prompt.root; <userinput>make foo.cf</userinput>
|
|
||||||
&prompt.root; <userinput>cp foo.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf</userinput></screen>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>A typical <filename>.mc</filename> file might look
|
|
||||||
like:</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>VERSIONID(`<replaceable>Your version number</replaceable>') OSTYPE(bsd4.4)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)
|
|
||||||
FEATURE(nocanonify)
|
|
||||||
FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable')
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
define(`UUCP_RELAY', <replaceable>your.uucp.relay</replaceable>)
|
|
||||||
define(`UUCP_MAX_SIZE', 200000)
|
|
||||||
define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES')
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
MAILER(local)
|
|
||||||
MAILER(smtp)
|
|
||||||
MAILER(uucp)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cw <replaceable>your.alias.host.name</replaceable>
|
|
||||||
Cw <replaceable>youruucpnodename.UUCP</replaceable></programlisting>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>The lines containing
|
|
||||||
<literal>accept_unresolvable_domains</literal>,
|
|
||||||
<literal>nocanonify</literal>, and
|
|
||||||
<literal>confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES</literal> features will
|
|
||||||
prevent any usage of the DNS during mail delivery. The
|
|
||||||
<literal>UUCP_RELAY</literal> clause is needed to support UUCP
|
|
||||||
delivery. Simply put an Internet hostname there that is able to
|
|
||||||
handle .UUCP pseudo-domain addresses; most likely, you will
|
|
||||||
enter the mail relay of your ISP there.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>Once you have this, you need an
|
|
||||||
<filename>/etc/mail/mailertable</filename> file. If you have
|
|
||||||
only one link to the outside that is used for all your mails,
|
|
||||||
the following file will suffice:</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>#
|
|
||||||
# makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable
|
|
||||||
. uucp-dom:<replaceable>your.uucp.relay</replaceable></programlisting>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>A more complex example might look like this:</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>#
|
|
||||||
# makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable
|
|
||||||
#
|
|
||||||
horus.interface-business.de uucp-dom:horus
|
|
||||||
.interface-business.de uucp-dom:if-bus
|
|
||||||
interface-business.de uucp-dom:if-bus
|
|
||||||
.heep.sax.de smtp8:%1
|
|
||||||
horus.UUCP uucp-dom:horus
|
|
||||||
if-bus.UUCP uucp-dom:if-bus
|
|
||||||
. uucp-dom:</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>The first three lines handle special cases where
|
|
||||||
domain-addressed mail should not be sent out to the default
|
|
||||||
route, but instead to some UUCP neighbor in order to
|
|
||||||
<quote>shortcut</quote> the delivery path. The next line
|
|
||||||
handles mail to the local Ethernet domain that can be delivered
|
|
||||||
using SMTP. Finally, the UUCP neighbors are mentioned in the
|
|
||||||
.UUCP pseudo-domain notation, to allow for a
|
|
||||||
<literal><replaceable>uucp-neighbor
|
|
||||||
</replaceable>!<replaceable>recipient</replaceable></literal>
|
|
||||||
override of the default rules. The last line is always a single
|
|
||||||
dot, matching everything else, with UUCP delivery to a UUCP
|
|
||||||
neighbor that serves as your universal mail gateway to the
|
|
||||||
world. All of the node names behind the
|
|
||||||
<literal>uucp-dom:</literal> keyword must be valid UUCP
|
|
||||||
neighbors, as you can verify using the command
|
|
||||||
<literal>uuname</literal>.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>As a reminder that this file needs to be converted into a
|
|
||||||
DBM database file before use. The command line to accomplish
|
|
||||||
this is best placed as a comment at the top of the
|
|
||||||
<filename>mailertable</filename> file. You always have to
|
|
||||||
execute this command each time you change your
|
|
||||||
<filename>mailertable</filename> file.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>Final hint: if you are uncertain whether some particular
|
|
||||||
mail routing would work, remember the <option>-bt</option>
|
|
||||||
option to <application>sendmail</application>. It starts
|
|
||||||
<application>sendmail</application> in <emphasis>address test
|
|
||||||
mode</emphasis>; enter <literal>3,0</literal>, followed
|
|
||||||
by the address you wish to test for the mail routing. The last
|
|
||||||
line tells you the used internal mail agent, the destination
|
|
||||||
host this agent will be called with, and the (possibly
|
|
||||||
translated) address. Leave this mode by typing
|
|
||||||
<keycombo action="simul">
|
|
||||||
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>D</keycap></keycombo>.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>sendmail -bt</userinput>
|
|
||||||
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
|
|
||||||
Enter <ruleset> <address>
|
|
||||||
<prompt>></prompt> <userinput>3,0 foo@example.com</userinput>
|
|
||||||
canonify input: foo @ example . com
|
|
||||||
...
|
|
||||||
parse returns: $# uucp-dom $@ <replaceable>your.uucp.relay</replaceable> $: foo < @ example . com . >
|
|
||||||
<prompt>></prompt> <userinput>^D</userinput></screen>
