Calling all sendmail afficionados: The mail on my Sun (OS 4.1.1) comes in via two VAXen, which complicate the "From:" line so that a number of pieces of mail cause sendmail to hiccup. This hiccup takes the form of sending me the original mail PLUS sending the Postmaster (also me) a message saying it had problems sending the mail. I'm trying to create a sendmail configuration rewrite rule to handle this special format (without mangling the rest of my mail). I've modified some of the re-write rules, but I'm shooting in the dark. I have RTFM, and I'm still in, at best, twilight. Here's a sample of the way the "From:" line looks every time the mailer doesn't like the address: From: AEACUS::IN%@ATHENS(weinri@athena.cs.uga.edu" "Kevin Weinrich) When the address doesn't include the quote marks or the name at the end, I get no error messages. Any help you can send my way would be greatly appreciated. If possible, send mail to kxx@epavax.rtpnc.epa.gov -Kevin
