[net.unix-wizards] YA sendmail prob

	There has been a lot of talk about sendmail dropping local
	mail messages.  My problem is a little different.

	We have two vaxes connected by DMR11s.  When I mail from
	vax1 to user@vax2, mail is delivered.  However, when I mail
	from vax2 to user@vax1, the mail is lost ( not even returned
	as being undeliverable). Using the command:

		% /usr/lib/sendmail -v user@vax1

	sendmail tells me that the mail is delivered.  When checking
	vax1's syslog, a message which contains the line:

Dec 14 17:21:45 localhost: 5264 sendmail: AA05262: to=<user@vax1>, delay=00:00:15, stat=Bad usage
Dec 14 17:21:45 localhost: 5264 sendmail: AA05262: to=<jcc@vax2>, delay=00:00:15, stat=User unknown

	The "stat=Bad usage" and "stat=User unknown" confuses me. (NOTE: I can
	mail jcc@vax2 from vax1 via the "mail jcc@vax2" command!!!).  On top
	of all this, the letter is lost.  Any suggestions, fixes, or similiar
	experiences will be appreciated.

				Thanks,
