Operating Systems Solaris sendmail "root... User address required." error Post 302123642 by csgonan on Tuesday 26th of June 2007 11:47:32 AM

sendmail "root... User address required." error

I'm running sendmail (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/Submit) solaris 10.

When I send mail to root at the command line (whether I use a full-qualified address or just root), I get the error message

root... User address required.

Sending mail to root (either at the command line or in a cron job), fails. I just tried to send to root as me, and the failure notice came to my exchange account.

The format of the e-mail address is incorrect. Check the address, look up the recipient in the Address Book, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
< host.domain.com #5.1.3>


This is my submit.mc and all mail is correctly relaying to the exchange server, and mail from root shows correctly as root@host.domain.com.

FvwmM4(1)							   Fvwm Modules 							 FvwmM4(1)

NAME
FvwmM4 - the fvwm M4 pre-processor SYNOPSIS
Module FvwmM4 [options] filename The FvwmM4 module can only be invoked by fvwm. Command line invocation of the FvwmM4 module will not work. DESCRIPTION
When fvwm executes the FvwmM4 module, FvwmM4 invokes the M4 pre-processor on the file specified in its invocation, then FvwmM4 causes fvwm to execute the commands in the resulting file. INVOCATION
FvwmM4 can be invoked as a module using an fvwm command, from the .fvwm2rc file, a menu, mousebinding, or any of the many other ways fvwm commands can be issued. If the user wants his entire .fvwm2rc file pre-processed with FvwmM4, then fvwm should be invoked as: fvwm -cmd "Module FvwmM4 .fvwm2rc" Note that the argument to the option "-cmd" should be enclosed in quotes, and no other quoting should be used. When FvwmM4 runs as a module, it runs asynchronously from fvwm. If FvwmM4 is invoked from the .fvwm2rc, the commands generated by FvwmM4 may or may not be executed by the time fvwm processes the next command in the .fvwm2rc. Invoke FvwmM4 this way for synchronous execution: ModuleSynchronous FvwmM4 -lock filename OPTIONS
Some options can be specified following the modulename: -m4-prefix I think this makes all the m4 directives require the prefix "m4_". -m4-prefix-defines Causes built-in defines to be prefixed with "m4_" (i.e., m4_HOME is defined instead of HOME, etc.) -m4opt option Lets you pass an option to the m4 program. Not really needed as any unknown options will be passed on automatically. -m4-squote character Lets you change the m4 start-of-quote character to character. -m4-equote character Lets you change the m4 end-of-quote character to character. -m4prog name Instead of invoking "m4", fvwm will invoke name. -outfile filename Instead of creating a random unique name for the temporary file for the preprocessed rc file, this option specifies the name of the temporary file created. FvwmM4 attempts to remove this file before writing to it, so don't point it at anything important even if it has read-only protection. -debug Causes the temporary file created by m4 to be retained. This file is usually called "/tmp/fvwmrcXXXXXX" -lock If you want to use this option you need to start FvwmM4 with ModuleSynchronous. This option causes fvwm to wait that the pre-process to finish and then FvwmM4 asks fvwm to Read the pre-processed file before continuing. This can be useful at startup if you use a session manager like Gnome. Also, this is useful if you want to process and run a Form in an fvwm function. -noread Causes the pre-processed file to be not read by fvwm. Useful for pre-processing an FvwmScript script. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmM4 defines some values for use in the pre-processor file: TWM_TYPE Always set to "fvwm". SERVERHOST The name of the machine running the X Server. CLIENTHOST The name of the machine running fvwm. HOSTNAME The hostname of the machine running fvwm. Generally the same as CLIENTHOST. OSTYPE The operating system for CLIENTHOST. USER The name of the person running fvwm. HOME The home directory of the person running fvwm. VERSION The X11 version. REVISION The X11 revision number. VENDOR The X server vendor. RELEASE The X server release number. SCREEN The screen number. WIDTH The screen width in pixels. HEIGHT The screen height in pixels. X_RESOLUTION Some distance/pixel measurement for the horizontal direction, I think. Y_RESOLUTION Some distance/pixel measurement for the vertical direction, I think. PLANES Number of color planes for the X server display BITS_PER_RGB Number of bits in each rgb triplet. CLASS The X11 default visual class, e.g. PseudoColor. COLOR Yes or No, Yes if the default visual class is neither StaticGrey or GreyScale. FVWM_CLASS The visual class that fvwm is using, e.g. TrueColor. FVWM_COLOR Yes or No, Yes if the FVWM_CLASS is neither StaticGrey or GreyScale. FVWM_VERSION The fvwm version number, ie 2.0 OPTIONS Some combination of SHAPE, XPM, NO_SAVEUNDERS, and M4, as defined in configure.h at compile time. FVWM_MODULEDIR The directory where fvwm looks for .fvwm2rc and modules by default, as determined at compile time. FVWM_USERDIR The value of $FVWM_USERDIR. SESSION_MANAGER The value of $SESSION_MANAGER. Undefined if this variable is not set. EXAMPLE PROLOG
