Hi,

We congratulate those of you who have only minor problems with electronic
mail of IRIX 3.3.1. On our 4D70GT running IRIX 3.3.1 we can receive mail
from almost everywhere (SUN,SGI,IBM) but we cannot send mail  - even not
to 4D25TG's on the local net. Using 'mail' or 'Mail' results in the
following error:

	rewrite: expansion too long
	beyer@bflsga... cannot resolve name

We left the /etc/hosts file unchanged from IRIX 3.2.1 where 'mail' and
'Mail' worked as expected. Our local SGI representative had no advise.

I would be very grateful for any hint. Thank you.

	Ralf Beyer
