Hi fellow Sunspotters,
I am having problems with the so-called "sendmail.mx" program,
ie, the one that works with the name server daemon. We are
running Sun OS 3.2 and I got the name server patch kit from Sun.
We run the MX mailer only on our server/mailhost .
The symptoms we get are as follows:
1. Internal mail from the server works fine.
2. Internal mail to the server disappears down a black hole.
3. External mail is returned to the sender with one or more
characters in each header line eaten as follows:

| hi bob
| just testing

The mail was sent to: noonan@cs.wm.edu .
The message comes through fine, just the header is eaten. This same
mailer configuration file works fine with the old "sendmail". If you
could reply directly to me, I will summarize the answers back to the net.
Thanks.
