Helpful people,
This is going to be difficult to explain--I hope I can make it clear enough
to solicit some suggestions as to how I would solve the problem.
I administer a RH 5.1 box, let's call it fushia.bio.plant.edu. Its been
working pretty good except for a recent problem that was explained here and
fixed with the help of people on this list. Here is the new problem:
I can email out of the box and into the box with no problem. However, when
users email to other users within the system (by just addressing it to the
user name, such as "joes" and not using the complete domain name), the
message disappears into a black hole. The message is not delivered to the
user, nor returned to the sender. It is received by root in a message that
says that there is a "fatal error" and that "user [EMAIL PROTECTED]" is
not known. The "saturn" host name is not included as part of the address
when it is sent out. It seems like a network configuration problem. Where
do I look to fix it.
*ALSO* a seemingly unrelated problem (this box has no end of problems): I
just connected to check it and when I asked "who" to see who was connected,
I received "who: Memory exhausted" what might be the problem here?
Thanks for all your words of wisdom!
-Ken
