mail

[Leland H Kofford]

Has anyone seen the problem where sending mail from an account on a server to that same account on that same server fails with a user unknown message?

Important note the accounts are nis.

Also note, the sendmail.cw file has the server name, its fully qualified name and localhost in it.

Final note, some accounts do function as expected while others do not with no apparent difference between user accounts.

What command are you using ?
what happends if you do:
sendmail user@localhost
your email
.

Hi Leland,

Perchance is the difference that some users have uppercase letters in their names? If so, you need to turn off the lowercasing of names.
