Very Computer

I know this has been mentioned already, but the solutions
don't SEEM to help me.

Problem:
        Running smail, I get problems with uuname calls. The
        error says something about uuname output not being
        correct...Route problems, etc.

Suggested solutions:
        Edit the transports file...uncomment last 4 lines, etc

THIS won't work for me... I don't have a transports file.
So, now I have my machine all decked out with slackware 2.0,
but I can't get smail to work. I run a mailing list, so
I need to get it up relatively soon.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
--Mike

Well not really but you can try a few things that will help make your
life easier...

1)  uncomment out the smtp_debug statement in your config (ie turn
    debbugging on).

   Then telnet (your.host.machine) 25
   type
   DEBUG 99

   look at the output.  It will show exactly whats broken.

2) type smail -bP all   This will list all the config info that smail
is using on your machine, make sure this is all correct.  I had a
problem and it was because smail was looking in /usr/lib/smail for
config when it actually was in /var/lib/smail/config   creating a
symbolic link fixed all my problems  (smail -bP config_file).

Hope this helps,  I am by no means a smail expert...
