sendmail on RH6.0 seems to work fine sending mail, but when one uses sendmail -bt to test an address: 0 tpavlic 0 tpavlic 0 bob.UUCP 0 anything@anything sendmail reports that the mail is delivered locally. This should not be the case, and cannot be the case as mail is actually going through. (SMTP mail, that is) I'm trying to be sure that certain customers of mine who use UUCP will have their mail routed correctly through sendmail, but sendmail -bt reports that everything is routed locally, which makes things very hard to debug. :)
I've always used 0 to parse addresses when debugging sendmail. Someone recently informed me of the /parse routine in sendmail -bt. I tried /parse and things worked fine.
I always thought that ruleset 3 was the one that was handling the actual resolving to what mailer should be used for a particular address, and ruleset 0 was only processing the final step of delivery. Anyway, things now seem to work fin, bug closed.
