Index: usr.lib/sendmail/src/recipient.c 4.2BSD Description: We have login names for our uucp neighbours of the form u_host (e.g. u_utzoo). sendmail thinks underscores should be turned into spaces before looking up login names in the password file and consequently never found such login names. We had dueling sendmails when one machine's uux (running under a u_host login name) mailed an error message to another machine's u_host login. Repeat-By: Create a u_ucbvax login. Try to send mail to it. Watch sendmail say "u_ucbvax ... User unknown". Fix: This fix makes sendmail leave underscores alone.
