(hopefully simple) sendmail question
I'm having problems with sendmail.
I loaded RH Linux 6.2 to one of my machines. Then I added a user called
"Charlie" to the system.
I decided to try the "mail" command. For some reason, I am unable to "mail
Charlie". The mail command tells me:
Charlie... User unknown
/root/dead.letter... Saved message in /root/dead.letter
It's the same for any other user I add to the system.
The user Charlie can send mail to root. But, if root tries to reply to it (via
the "r" command), I get the same "user unknown" message as above.
I tried "sendmail -bv Charlie" and it indicated that Charlie is an invalid user.
Hey, I can take a hint! 8-)
Do I need to put "Charlie" in a file to tell sendmail that he is a valid user?
Thanks a heap,
Charlie
