I was woken at 3am and 6am by the little girl myowling piteously because she couldn't find her brother. Her brother was either curled up on the bed next to [livejournal.com profile] arkady or exploring. He is not terribly bright — he chased his tail, finally caught it, bit it, was surprised it hurt then started chasing it again — and she is a scaredy-cat who MYYOOOWWWLLSSS whenever she can't find him. Arkady got some pics of the pair of them, which I'll add to the collection later.

Update: Kitty pr0n!

We use Sendmail here. (This is not going to change.) We have an Exchange box, which I will call skank, which forwards mail to foolive. There is another box, footest, which is not in DNS, so skank has no idea it exists. I need to get foolive to relay mail for footest from skank so it can be processed on footest. Neither foolive nor footest run DNS; they both use /etc/hosts (skank is listed in both machines' hosts file). All these boxes are safely inside the chewy tasty centre of the network and don't need to know about the outside world.

I've tried much of the stuff in various FAQs ([1], [2]) and it doesn't want to work. You can connect to foolive (e.g. telnet port 25) and give it a message for footest, and it accepts it, but the message appears to vanish without trace.

What do I need to configure this to work? Answers involving new software are unlikely to be helpful — it's Sendmail 8.11.7p1+Sun, the stock version with Solaris 8.

Update: Duh. Mail for footest was actually going from foolive back to skank first, not directly. We had to put footest into skank's hosts file, whereupon it worked.
