I am running majordomo 1.94.5 on a FreeBSD 2.2.8 system with
sendmail 8.8.8. I am not familiar with Irix, but I always
heard good things about SGI hardware.
Even 8.9.3 sendmail is not "new", but is more common than 8.8.8
these days. It also has several security enhancements that may
be of value to you. Since you do not have a public DNS entry for
sgippd7, you need to make sure that the MX hosts for sgippd7 will
properly relay mail to and for sgippd7. You may also have to use
a sendmail configuration of NoDNS if you are behind a firewall or
do not have a separate private DNS server for sgippd7 to use that
has information about itself listed.
Before worrying about majordomo on sgippd7, I would concentrate
on making sure you can get mail onto and off of the sgippd7 box
from the outside world. Once you have this working, majordomo
should be quite happy with almost any configuration.
Things to look for regarding your hostname;
/etc/hosts - make sure the fully qualified name is listed first
146.122.132.nnn sgippd7.sdrc.com sgippd7 [othernicknames]
/etc/sendmail.cf
Cwlocalhost sgippd7.sdrc.com #or use the sendmail.cw file
Djsgippd7.sdrc.com #or Djsdrc.com depending on your config
#Actually, the above line should not be required at all if
#sendmail can determine your domain properly.
DSmailhub-cvg.sdrc.com
Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw
If defined in sendmail.cf...
/etc/sendmail.cw
sgippd7.sdrc.com
sgippd7
anyothernamethishostgoesby_long_and_short
Troubleshooting,
As the root user on sgippd7
hostname
Does this return a fully qualified name? It should.
Otherwise, do
hostname sgippd7.sdrc.com
then check again.
If the above worked, you can remove Djsgippd7.sdrc.com
from your sendmail.cf and restart sendmail.
sendmail -bv majordomo@sdrc.com
Does this say the relay is localhost or the mailhub?
Or does this say ...deliverable: mailer prog, user...?
sendmail -bv majordomo@sgippd7.sdrc.com
Where does this say the delivery it to? It should be
to mailer prog, user "|/path/to/wrapper majordomo"
>From outside your own domain, can you send messages to
majordomo@sgippd7.sdrc.com (help, lists, which, etc)
and get replies back to the address outside the domain?
If all the above is working, it is just a matter of your
aliases file and your listname.config file. Keep a close
eye on your sendmail logs and majordomo logs when sending
messages to your lists too. You might even want to turn
up logging in sendmail while testing majordomo.
