    All,

    I ran into a situation that is bothering me. Here is the scenario of what
    happened.

    I have a B2000 running on HPUX 10.20 that is our FTP server. This is running
    WU-FTP for the FTP service and when a customer downloads a file, an E-mail
    is sent out to various parties. Well, I decided to rename this server and
    that seemed to go okay...but the E-mails that are sent out would not work.
    All mail from that server would not go through SMTP, they were staying
    local to the machine. All of the other workstations I have would E-mail
    with no problem. After beating my head against the wall for hours checking
    every configuration I could thing of, a friend of mine recommended editing
    the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and putting our SMTP server in various
    locations. This worked and there was much joy, but what is bothering me is
    none of our other machines and in fact this one before the name change,
    had any reference to our SMTP server at all and they all E-mail just fine.
    What am I missing? I ran this by the Network admin. and he just throws up
    his hands and says "its Unix, i only know Windoze". I think it's something
    on his end but can't prove it. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Regards,

    John
