    I'm trying to set up extmail on LNX 3.0.8 on Digital Unix.
    When I send a msg to my ext.id ([email protected]) from a POP3 compliant 
    client I find in /usr/var/spool/mail/in/f0008957/control.dat
    
    MailID: 0000006B00000016
    BEGIN Error
    Text: 279 [email protected] incorrect external id (for sender of mail)
    END
    BEGIN Deliver
    Ident: root
    END
    
    The corporate mail_srv relays [email protected] to the OS account 
    [email protected] (lnx server). I can state that this step 
    works fine because I can see from mailx incoming pending messages for 
    lnxtest. 
    Anyway lnxtest is also the OS-login of the lnx-account lnxtest
    (too!) using as ext.id [email protected].
    
    When I try to send msg from lnx using lnxtest to an external user I
    just get an exxxxxxxx directory on /usr/var/spool/mail/out but 
    control.dat doen't complain at all. 
    
    What can be wrong ?

| Guiseppo, From the description in .0 I am guessing that you are using [email protected] as external identification whereas you should be using just lnxtest. Does this guess makes sense ? Berd Schimmel | |||||

|     Hi,
    
    that's right !!! 
    Reading the User manual I was guessing that the systax
    wrong. Anyway it seems that account name cannot be more than 20 chars.
    
    Thanks a lot,
