But, recently one of them developed a mail problem which we cannot cure. Now the other one has it. Its getting a little annoying. HELP! The primary symptom is that mail will return with 'Host Unknown' anytime we try to mail to someone with a full internet machine name. It mails fine if mailed to an abbreviated machine name. mail to markad@isdl works mail to markad works It does not affect anything but mail, and it affects all mail programs. We are not on a NeXT network. It doesn't matter where we mail it (even to the same machine). When this initially occured on the first machine, I diff'ed all files I could come up with that might be related to mail between it and the other machine (which worked fine). No difference, but I copied 'em over anyway to make sure. Didn't fix it. We ignored it for a while but it didn't go away. Now, about a week ago, the second machine did the same thing. It is a real hassle having to rlogin to another machine and mail when we have a neat little interface to do it for us. If you have any suggestions or have had similar problems, clue me in. Thanks ahead of time. Mark markad@isdl.ee.washington.edu >From: evren@wucs1.wustl.edu (Evren Senol)
