Ok lists, I desperatly need your help. I have been tasked with moving the company's email from a modem-based uucp to a tcp/ip based uucp. We will make the firewall our mx, and I have sendmail installed on it.
uucp can copy files (over tcp/ip) between speedy (an SCO 5.0.5, running sco's honeydanber uucp) and scorch (a linux firewall, taylor uucp, sendmail 8.9.3, mostly a hand-rolled machine from before I met debian). This error message from scorch's logs is the one causing the trouble: uuxqt speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:00.10 21228) ERROR: Not permitted to execute rmail Here is the entry for speedy in my /etc/uucp/sys file: system speedy time Any address 192.168.0.5 port TCP chat ogin uuscorch ord big_secret commands rmail,uux If you have any ideas, I would *LOVE* to hear them -- the sooner the better. (Today was supposed to be my last day here! I would like this to work before I leave! :) Here is a snippet from the logs, this represents a few transactions between the two computers. uux speedy daemon (2000-01-13 16:23:27.05 21221) Queuing rmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (D.000D) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:01.01 21224) Calling system speedy (port TCP) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:01.05 21224) Login successful uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:03.11 21224) Handshake successful (protocol 't') uucico speedy daemon (2000-01-13 16:24:03.11 21224) Sending rmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (D.000D) (630 bytes) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:03.14 21224) Call complete (2 seconds 716 bytes 358 bps) uucico - - (2000-01-13 16:24:55.99 21227) Incoming call (login uuowens port stdin) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:58.03 21227) Handshake successful (protocol 'e') uucico speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:24:58.05 21227) Receiving D.speed1ca19e8 uucico speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:24:58.07 21227) Receiving X.scorchN741f uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:24:58.07 21227) Call complete (3 seconds 924 bytes 308 bps) uuxqt speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:00.10 21228) ERROR: Not permitted to execute rmail uux speedy uucp (2000-01-13 16:25:00.29 21233) Queuing rmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] hc.org (D.000F) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:01.22 21240) Calling system speedy (port TCP) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:01.38 21240) Login successful uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:03.44 21240) Handshake successful (protocol 't') uucico speedy uucp (2000-01-13 16:25:03.44 21240) Sending rmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] .nbhc.org (D.000F) (547 bytes) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:03.47 21240) Call complete (2 seconds 663 bytes 331 bps) uucico - - (2000-01-13 16:25:55.93 21245) Incoming call (login uuowens port stdin) uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:57.97 21245) Handshake successful (protocol 'e') uucico speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:57.99 21245) Receiving D.speed1ca3462 uucico speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:58.01 21245) Receiving X.scorchN7420 uucico speedy - (2000-01-13 16:25:58.01 21245) Call complete (3 seconds 832 bytes 277 bps) uuxqt speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:26:00.04 21248) ERROR: Not permitted to execute rmail uucico - - (2000-01-13 16:26:00.12 21250) No work uux speedy uucp (2000-01-13 16:26:00.28 21255) Queuing rmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] hc.org (D.000H) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
