From b1c3caac2d126b83db995b5edd932814b70a7015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Lucas Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 22:10:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Now that the UUCP/SMTP tutorial is in the Handbook, kill it in the FAQ. Brought to you by: the sugar rush from the white chocolate macadamia cookies at the FreeBSD Developers' Summit. --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml | 149 ---------------------------- 1 file changed, 149 deletions(-) diff --git a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml index 4a4eaf6910..21c1410527 100644 --- a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml +++ b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml @@ -6601,155 +6601,6 @@ options SYSVMSG # enable for messaging - - - How do I use sendmail for mail delivery with UUCP? - - - - - The sendmail configuration that ships with FreeBSD is - suited for sites that connect directly to the Internet. - Sites that wish to exchange their mail via UUCP must install - another sendmail configuration file. - - Tweaking /etc/mail/sendmail.cf manually is - considered something for purists. Sendmail version 8 comes with - a new approach of generating config files via some - &man.m4.1; - preprocessing, where the actual hand-crafted configuration is - on a higher abstraction level. You should use the configuration - files under - /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf. - - If you did not install your system with full sources, - the sendmail config stuff has been broken out into a separate - source distribution tarball just for you. Assuming you have got - your CDROM mounted, do: - - &prompt.root; cd /cdrom/src -&prompt.root; cat scontrib.?? | tar xzf - -C /usr/src contrib/sendmail - - Do not panic, this is only a few hundred kilobytes in size. - The file README in the - cf directory can serve as a basic - introduction to m4 configuration. - - For UUCP delivery, you are best advised to use the - mailertable feature. This constitutes a - database that sendmail can use to base its routing decision - upon. - - First, you have to create your .mc - file. The directory - /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf is the - home of these files. Look around, there are already a few - examples. Assuming you have named your file - foo.mc, all you need to do in order to - convert it into a valid sendmail.cf - is: - - &prompt.root; cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf -&prompt.root; make foo.cf -&prompt.root; cp foo.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf - - A typical .mc file might look - like: - - - VERSIONID(`Your version number') -OSTYPE(bsd4.4) - -FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains) -FEATURE(nocanonify) -FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable') - -define(`UUCP_RELAY', your.uucp.relay) -define(`UUCP_MAX_SIZE', 200000) -define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES') - -MAILER(local) -MAILER(smtp) -MAILER(uucp) - -Cw your.alias.host.name -Cw youruucpnodename.UUCP - - The lines containing accept_unresolvable_domains, - nocanonify, and confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES features will prevent any usage - of the DNS during mail delivery. The - UUCP_RELAY clause is needed for bizarre - reasons, do not ask. 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. - - Once you have got this, you need this file called - /etc/mail/mailertable. If you have only - one link to the outside that is used for all your mails, - the following file will be enough: - - # -# makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable -. uucp-dom:your.uucp.relay - - A more complex example might look like this: - - # -# 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: - - - As you can see, this is part of a real-life file. 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 shortcut 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 uucp-neighbor - !recipient - 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 - uucp-dom: keyword must be valid UUCP - neighbors, as you can verify using the command - uuname. - - As a reminder that this file needs to be converted into a - DBM database file before being usable, the command line to - accomplish this is best placed as a comment at the top of - the mailertable. You always have to execute this command - each time you change your mailertable. - - Final hint: if you are uncertain whether some particular - mail routing would work, remember the - option to sendmail. It starts sendmail in address - test mode; simply enter 3,0, - 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 - Control-D. - - &prompt.user; sendmail -bt -ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked) -Enter <ruleset> <address> -> 3,0 foo@example.com -canonify input: foo @ example . com -... -parse returns: $# uucp-dom $@ your.uucp.relay $: foo < @ example . com . > -> ^D - - - How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the
